If you need to adjust partition sizes the after it's up and running then use a Partition editing software, there are plenty of free ones out there to adjust your partition sizes to suit. When restoring adjust the partition sizes if it allows you, else just restore it as it is.

Then use the Macrium rescue media to restore the image to the NEW SSD. Also remove any OTHER drives you might have attached. I have always just done a FULL backup of the OS drive to a USB drive, then swapped the SSD. Just to explain, I have quite a number of software programs that need to have their licences deactivated and I'm worried about whether some of them will reinstall on Windows 10 (Adobe Creative Suite Design Premium, for example, being the CS4 version, as well as a lot of third party plugins.) Thanking you in advance! So my question is - should I clone or image my current SSD onto the larger SSD?

I'll need to deactivate a shipload of software on the smaller SSD before reactivating them on the larger SSD and installing Windows 10 on this drive.

I'd love to get some advice on how to do this please. Like many others, I need to upgrade to Windows 10 soon, so I'm taking the opportunity to also increase my SSD from 250 GB to 1TB. By Ben Toutofshaip - 11 November 2019 11:20 AM
