Just a note, the clone feature is behind a paywall if your disk is GPT instead of MBR. There is no work around, confirmed on their forum. So this will only work if both of your disks are MBR, so no partition over 2TB. Might be an issue for you, might not. But if by any change your disk is GPT you are stuck and this won't work for you.
This is not a good process if your new disk has more space than the previous one because the cloning process will allocate the exact same amount of space as your existing disk. The other space will stay unallocated and to edit the partition size you need the pro version of this tool.
This answered all my questions other people were making it very confusing you were very straight forward and got to the point quick thanks earned a sub.
What an amazing tutorial. First I was very excited to get my ssd, then I had complications finding a good tutorial, finally I found yours and I’m on my way to smooth booting! I hope your food is warm and your pillows are cold friend.
I wish more creators respected our time like you did here. Thank you. I hate sitting through minutes of fluff and people rambling about stuff that is unnecessary or extremely over complicated just for the sale of making a long video they can throw more ads on.
Currently cloning everything over now! I love how concise yet informative this is. It hits every point and shows clearly how to do it. I also like that you show you are using an M.2 drive and not a SETA cable, because looking at other videos, it’s a completely different process doing it that way. Keep up the awesome work!
Can i do the same from ssd to nvme? I want to transfer everything from the ssd that includes windows to the nvme. Also should i first allocate the nvme?
Wanted to let anyone trying this out know if it doesn't work, you may have incompatibility issues. Since there are two different partition styles, where you might have to change it, they are GPT and MBR. Meaning your main drive's partition style has to be the same as the one you're cloning it to. So you'll have to change it through the windows command prompt by clicking the search box next to START and type in diskpart and run it till the black box appears. Now type in: list disk, and select the correct new drive that you want to be the new boot drive. By typing in for example: select disk 1. Afterwards type: clean. Once successfully you'll lastly just type in convert to either GPT or MBR, for mine I had to type in: convert gpt. Hope this helps anyone, if not it'll help guide you.
Thank you very much, I built my pc with a sata drive, and now just got an nvme m.2, with double the capacity, I didn't really know what to search on TH-cam to actually find a tutorial on, but this fit the description of what I wanted to do, The tutorial was incredibly useful, and the little things are what shows that you know what you are doing, so it makes me feel confident that you didn't just get me to install a virus/trojan/malware under the cover of "moving windows from a hard drive to an SSD" things like; showing how to open the bios, not trying to get everyone to buy something, clicking the box to make sure we don't have to sign up and just keeping this under 5 minutes (thanks for not trying to make this a 10 min vid just to get it monetized.
also, I don't know if it is just me, but I just noticed that when you move the AOMEI tab, it has a lot of latency, so you can shake it and let go of your mouse and watch it move Yeah, I don't know how to describe it.
Best tutorial on youtube! Short and simple. I encountered some trouble as my SSD newly installed showed MBR type while my hdd was GPT type. However after refreshing everything they were both GPT and I transferred everything. Changed the boot sequence and it worked PERFECTLY! My computer is SOO much faster now.
Wow, so easy and simple. Thank-you! I was running out of space on an older SSD and wanted to simply get a new, larger SSD. I did the swap and worked perfectly just like you said. AND.... your video was short, to the point and clear to understand. So much better than starting a fresh. Thanks!
Instructions were clear and very simple to follow. I was able to get 6.3 running without a paywall and now my computer boots up lighting fast then before. Really appreciate the help.
Seems like it doesn't work anymore. When I click on start clone on the final step, the pop up window shows up and there is no other option than upgrade the program, I cannot skip it.
Thank you tons for the quick and straightforeward tutorial, im getting an ssd in the mail soon and i wanted to move the operating system over without a hassle and so far you are the only person to make a tutorial thats quick and straight to the point
I installed 6.3 and faced the problem of the paywall even after changing both discs to GPT. The solution for me was to install version 4.0.5 and did the clone perfectly. I took about 4 hours to move 200Gb.
For anyone stuck at the “Upgrade to pro”, make sure the drives are both configured to GPT to continue. To do this: Right click on Command prompt and click “Run as administrator”. type “diskpart” > “list disk” > “select disk (#)” > “clean” > and finally “convert gpt”.
the main drive and destination drive are both gpt but it still wont clone. I tried converting them to mbr but the main disk could not. Do you know what to do?
@@james.briley (Cited) The format used to define the hard disk partitions in computer. Theres two formats, GPT and MBR. GPT is more modern and basically replaces MBR, which is why you have to convert it to work properly with the cloning software.

I tried 6.3 like he said in the video, and still a pay wall. will uninstall, reboot, and install 5.3 and see if that works. If only that company would have a fair price for this ONE function (clone) that we need one time, I would buy it. Also if you look online there are TONS of complaints about people who paid the $50, getting charged in a year automatically for $105 and having an impossible time getting it turned off. What a shame, if this company was honest and just charged a fair price for the clone option, it would be worth it.
ok, update, I think you meant 6.3, as there is no 5.3 on the link he provided. Also, 6.3 is about the oldest version (based on date) that would support windows 11. With that being said, I believe they have replaced the 6.3 version that used to be there with one that has a pay wall now. I unchecked everything during the install, yet it still wants to sell me on the Pro version. Does anyone have a download of the 6.3 that is referenced in this video? Clearly they have gotten wind of this and have put the pay walls up in the 6.3 now unfortunately.
@@oskarw3027 Unfortunately, I went ahead and bought a bigger nvme. If you want to install windows fresh on a new drive, you can always do that; but you can't clone a drive that's got 1tb to a drive that's got 500gb. Best solution there is to either get a bigger drive and clone that way, or go the long way and manually move your files.
@@warrenreilly3948 If you're really desperate and willing to take the time, you could install windows onto the HDD - SSD you want using the windows media creation tool. However this is an inconvenient method as it will only create a new install of windows. No drivers or files will be transfered. Once complete you'll have to manually transfered the desired files and re install drivers. This basically means any games or programs you had that had registry files won't be able to locate those either.
@@warrenreilly3948 perhaps try uninstalling. Disconnect your internet connection. Then reinstall and proceed with the explained process in the tutorial. ?
@@brianheskin1654 I downloaded 6.3, and followed the instructions. Tried your method of disconnecting the internet connection before reinstalling the program, just to see if that would bypass it, but it would still ask me to upgrade.

Update: Link in description doesn't work anymore. Couldn't find version 6.3 on the website but found an installer elsewhere. I'm not sure when/why it changed, but the clone function is still paywalled (even though it *says* it isn't). Newer version is paywalled as well.
@@xd-zu4xm the only problem i saw was the interface of the program was different but the setting are the exact same. After doing all the copying i just turned off the pc and removed the Hdd , then booted to boot mode and choose ssd, simple 🥰
This worked great, only hiccup is the link in description is outdated and doesn’t work properly anymore. Just had to find aomei 6.3 elsewhere and then continue the tutorial.
This is super fast and helpful! Is there a way to do this without cloning all of the other files (like all the games and photos and videos etc. on the original HDD) I essentially just want to move Windows to the SSD but still use the HDD for storage
@@jakesternad6675 you have to go to disk management in your windows settings. And my HDD is MDR not GPT, so I had to change my SSD to MDR to match my HDD. That’s basically what this comment is saying, if your original hard drive is MDR choose that. If your original hard drive is GPT, make sure your new SSD is GPT as well.
Thank you very much for this helpful guide. The instructions can be easily followed even if you have limited knowledge with computers. Specific and substantial. Thumbs up!
Have you had any problems? and what if I just wanted windows to be switched to the ssd I don’t care about anything else. Could I possibly click that option that says system clone?
Oh man, I downloaded Aomei Backuper 6.3 and at the end when clicking on "Start Clone" Upgrade window pops up. It seems there is no way to use the free version or bypass the Upgrade window.
This is not a good process if your new disk has more space than the previous one because the cloning process will allocate the exact same amount of space as your existing disk. The other space will stay unallocated and to edit the partition size you need the pro version of this tool.

This is super fast and helpful! Is there a way to do this without cloning all of the other files (like all the games and photos and videos etc. on the original HDD) I essentially just want to move Windows to the SSD but still use the HDD for storage
Yeah same, I have another drive so I'll just move it to that or you can just delete everything but windows on the ssd
well do all of this and then just move your games over in the file explorer
there is something on the left of “disk clone” at 1:48 that does it
That would be "system clone" but requires pro version
@@Mrcool179 if u get pro version can you clone it and than after everything can you get your money back?
This tool is just amazing, solved my issue, great aomei.
This tool helped me a lot, I've used it for a long time since I saw your video last time, really useful. Thank you.
I really apreciate you going directly to the importante stuff. Videos like this that dont waist time are always welcome, thanks
yo after you do this can you unplug your hdd so its just the sdd inside the pc
The uptodown link not exist anymore, and i cant do it, because when i onstall the official one, it forces me to upgrade to pro version
I'm trying to clone with 6.3 version but there is a paywall anyways. Anyone else experiencing this?
me tooo
@@sakotako85did you find out how to get it working?
@@logangonkowicz6229 nope
make sure to change ur new ssd/ hard drive to GPT in disk management (format same as the disk u wanna clone from), I used 6.3 AOMEI and it's working.
How
Both mine are NTFS does this matter?
@@jakesternad6675 you have to go to disk management in your windows settings. And my HDD is MDR not GPT, so I had to change my SSD to MDR to match my HDD. That’s basically what this comment is saying, if your original hard drive is MDR choose that. If your original hard drive is GPT, make sure your new SSD is GPT as well.
Legend, thanks
This is fire bro🔥 this saved me alot of time
the best tutorial in the world you just owned another subscriber
you didn't hit the paywall using 6.3?
but i want only to copy windows on the ssd not everything on the hhd. please help
You cant
Couldn’t even find the thing you listed in your description and went through all the process just to ask to pay them
Thank you very much for this helpful guide. The instructions can be easily followed even if you have limited knowledge with computers. Specific and substantial. Thumbs up!
Literally the most straightforward video ever !!
thanks! getting a new ssd in a couple days and thought it was a lot harder to transfer data to it from my old hard drive
Thank you for this. Looks so simple and easy to do. Exactly what I was looking for.
does it work bro
@@CorsCors Still to try it man.
@@daamazinfatb0y752 did it work?
@@CorsCors it doesn anymore
I just got all my files deleted
So I made a comparison between aomei and macrium, think aomei is better, because it can also clone disk with bad sector, this is the point.
4.05 works without paywall! Like to show others 🎉
Thanks
Just tried 4.05 and its working !! Thank you!!
@@benzoindigo np man!
Hey my nvme is recognized my the bios but not an option for boot priority, any advice?
Have you had any problems? and what if I just wanted windows to be switched to the ssd I don’t care about anything else. Could I possibly click that option that says system clone?
This Video is Short, BUT This is helping in LONG term!!!
This Helped me A LOT!
Thank you!
Tnaks for making video as short an useful as it possible.
U got my sub🙂👍🏻
Oh man, I downloaded Aomei Backuper 6.3 and at the end when clicking on "Start Clone" Upgrade window pops up. It seems there is no way to use the free version or bypass the Upgrade window.
It’s telling me to buy the pro edition whenever I try to start the clone
This is not a good process if your new disk has more space than the previous one because the cloning process will allocate the exact same amount of space as your existing disk. The other space will stay unallocated and to edit the partition size you need the pro version of this tool.
Always find myself coming back to this video after upgrading my pc's thank you for this
Thank you for this vid.Short and on point.
I switched an old laptop hdd with an ssd and this worked great.
much respect! straight to the point tutorial, love you man !
Thank you sir, basically preparing myself to do this when I get off work today and seeing your video was definitely a lot easier than the other videos. Follower++
I'm using 6.3 but the clone feature seems to be locked behind a pay wall
this is EXACTLY what i needed.. tysm!!
Glad I found a quick and simple video. Just upgraded from HardDrive to M.2 drive.
would this still work? since it was 2 years ago i cant find aoemi 6.3 version
*look comments*
Sort by > Newest first
thank god i get this reflex now ....
did everything that you said but i keep getting put in a infinite restart loop with boot repair
It happened to me how did you get out?
@@benji9168 same here. Do you have an idea how to fix this.
Same problem here.
@@kienbenedictperea2879 i found out, i had to do a clean reinstall with a Windows build i had on a USB drive. It’s the only way because it can’t boot when the SSD is corrupted.
@@SYNC13 i found out, i had to do a clean reinstall with a Windows build i had on a USB drive. It’s the only way because it can’t boot when the SSD is corrupted.
the links dont bring me to the download page so i can download an older version, im confused
SUPER QUICK. Straight forward, Thank you SO MUCH. Very easy too. 10/10
An upgrade screen pops up asking for a registration code. I can't get past it.
Use version 6.2 , I had the same issue until I installed a slightly older version
make sure both files are gpt or mbr if u want to use a different one to a different one then u need the code.
File Puma has the 6.3 still on their site for any newer viewer
link plz????
@@hurricanelarry7106 yeah when i get home I will link it (round an hour n a half(
K
That website is safe and not a scam?
it seems that they've updated their website and wont allow for version 6.3 to be downloaded. I clicked older versions and it goes back to 7.1.2 from March 2023 :(
Same. Did you figure something else out?
did you resolve this issue and find anything better?
@@waferlane2548 for me, I ended up throwing in the towel and decided to just do a fresh new install of windows on my SSD
I got the 6.3 version it’ll make u upgrade an try an pay it doesn’t work
If there still is a paywall at 6.3 just download 6.0, worked for me as i am currently backing it up now.
Thanks ! Feb 4, 2024 still works!
People don't comment first, look for the 6.3 version and follow his steps, don't be dumb! Internet is free to search!
Where did you find the 6.3 version?
Good video, this tool is amazing! I failed with other tools for many times until I try this one, and by the way it is AOMEI not AEOMI in your description.
@@Roo_Tech still not there
Kudos to you! Nice and Simple and straight to the point!
video is outdated unfortunately as 6.3 is no longer available on the attached links.
Such a good video. Simple and to the point, I heard people are having issues with upgrading to a bigger size, but for me this was no issue. It worked without the program even restarting my computer
every time I hit "start clone" it tells me to upgrade? I downloaded 6.3 whatd you do
I tried my second disk with all my games and it worked, not sure about my drivve with only windows though so never mind? i guess?
Right now I’m having Problems switching the Hdd with the ssd because every time I make the ssd the priority it says “REBOOT and select proper boot device” and says some other stuff, can someone please help me?
