please make the windows 10 clone
i need my key on my new pc
JayzTwoCents plz do the windows clone video.
Already have
with your youtube riches you could totally get a 1 or 2tb ssd for that, have no problems worrying about space after that
Hey Jay! Would def be interested in seeing how to do that windows 10 clone. Thanks for the great vid.
Please do a Windows clone vid. I am getting ready to install a SSD replacement in my Laptop.
get samsung, they have the best cloning software of all the makers with their ssds
Would be nice to see what issues to look forwards as well.
Recently did a Windows move from 256gb 860pro to 1tb 970evo using Samsung Data Migration tool, and the move seemed to too smooth just clicking next. No need to expand any partitions as well, just used all the space.
Just clean install. BSODs and driver issues inc otherwise. A windows OS clone is literally asking for trouble, it never worked for me no matter what I tried.
Samsung software is actually always working for me ... did like 20 at my jobs and all machines are working fine
Try macrium reflect. It has a trail period and has worked wonders for me
I feel like this is one of your more useful video because you have a ton of gamers that follow you and this applies directly to us. We need more of these kinds of videos
Something I've already known, but still happy to see an EXTREMELY useful tutorial. Going to help alot of people. Cheers.
I just used the tutorial from Gamer Poets for Skyrim and it recommended me to JayTwoCents video. I can say It's on the money as well.
I'm gonna be installing an SSD in my dad's laptop in the near future and was thinking of cloning the OS, but still have to do research on it. So, I'd be REALLY greatful if you did a video about this whole cloning business. Thanks!
I'm just about to do the same thing. So: x2.
I would just do a fresh install... Imo.
I'm about to do the same thing as well. I want to move windows only though
I'm sure there are plenty other people who have done these kinds of videos.
You can just.. google it. I had to move my OS and all files from a failing HDD to a new one. And it took me like 5 minutes to find a guide n get started with 0 prior experience to cloning drives
It'd be great to see a Windows 10 clone video!
Just use Macrium Reflect like he did. Mind the order of the partitions. It's quite easy, no need to worry.
That was mint. You clarified where I’ve been going wrong for ages. Thank you so much!!
I learn something every time I watch one of your videos. Pretty sweet! 👍👍👍
Do a Windows clone vid! Also if you could do a speed comparison between a cloned windows boot drive vs a clean windows install, that would be really cool!!
Good idea
A normal boot drive and a cloned bootdrive that both have the same type od drive(hdd or ssd), then the speed will be exactly the same.
I knew all this, but still enjoyed watching, thanks Jay
Your merch ad never gets boring lmao, i love it!
Please do the Windows 10 clone video
please do the cloning of windows 10, thank you.
Please do a windows 10 clone at a later date
Boot to recovery mode. Attach a removable disk. Open CMD in recovery mode. Robocopy windows drive to removable drive. Bam- Free clone
The only thing is that you also need the boot partition to boot to the copy
Great video Jay. Learned some things I did not know.
Already knew how to do all of this stuff but I'm glad you made a video about it to spread the info!!
I find the lack of Windows 10 cloning videos on this channel disturbing.
Do like JayZ do to clone your Windows partition. If you buy a Samsung drive it comes with Samsung software to clone your drive to your new.
i find the fact that you dont search for videos like that to other tech channels disturbing
Windows 10 clone video please.
I already knew how to do this but I still like watching these tutorial videos. Thanks for making them!
I added a second drive to a computer literally yesterday and now you make this video today. Crazy
Me when I saw the title: "I NEED TO WATCH THIS, BEFORE IT GETS DELETED...",
"Oh.... It's legal. Good"
FBI: *FBI OPEN UP*
FBI: nvm thought he was pirating
Hell yeah show my how to get windows 10 again so I don't have to pay this sjhit company anymore money
Come on hes not linus. Just kidding
Majority of people who play games don't need Windows now. You can simply install Linux Mint or Manjaro. Install Steam and enable Steam Play/Proton. For Windows software's, just use VirtualBox on Linux. Done, and products from shit company are sandboxed in VirtualBox with no way to spy on you. 👍
@Alex Morgan nice shiny white armor
Ultra Instinct Xeno Bardock and get beaned if you play ow lmao
I really wish I would’ve seen this sooner, you never fail to save the day!
This vid was much appreciated. I intend to keep backups of everything once I finish my build. I have had way too many instances where I have lost EVERYTHING I've done over at least 1-4 years time and as a texture and 3D artist is a LOT of GBs if not a TB or more of data lost. That doesn't count all of my steam library either.
omg please do a windows ten clone video please!
Doing a Windows 10 clone would be handy, since I'm planning on moving my main boot drive to an m.2
Thanks so much for this tutorial! It's one I never thought of, but now I'm glad I know!
This was actually extremely helpful to me. I plan on updating my hard drive to an SSD in the coming months and now I know exactly how to do it. I would also love to see how to appropriately transfer over a windows OS in case I ever have to do it. Thanks!
please make that windows cloning video Jay, so I can procrastinate my sleep hour in the bed watching that video with no reason to do and with blank mind...
Jay you shouldn't just put the external SSD on the table like that you could short circuit the whole system !!!! You need some padding.
/s
I wonder how many people will be on THE VERGE of correcting what you said.
Dylan F AaAaAaAaAaAaAaA
I was on THE VERGE of heart failure after hearing this, especially as I just built my first pc and left my dad on the table
He's not even wearing an ESD wrist band.
yeah espcially cos that wood table is more conductive than copper
You can add the empty space with Macrium while it is cloning the drive, very handy if there is multiple partitions like a normal windows drive. The only pain is the empty space has to be next to the partition you want to expand, and get out a calculator to add the left over empty space after it calculates for a full clone, remove the partitions after the partition you want to add the empty space to, add the partition size and the left over empty space, then add the remaining partitions again. It is a little more involved but comes in handy when the main partition is in the middle of your drive when cloning it.
I ran into this issue when I upgraded my laptop from a HDD to a slightly larger SSD.
This is such a helpful video! I really enjoy all of your tutorial videos! thank you!
Hey,
Can you do a video on (necessary evil) network cards and USB wifi adapters? There are some cases where ethernet isn't a viable option
Thomas Nhu Necessary evil? I’ve only ever used WiFi... 😳
The Verge taught me how to clone my thrashcan. Your move, Jay?
These are really useful, thank you Jay.
Helped a lot! Thanks Jay
Correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve seen videos where frame rate is actually affected from using an external drive. USB 3 might be fast enough but I’m just not sure.
Depends on the game and SSD but if it's a hard drive
Access time might be the only difference
Please do a windows 10 Clone using NVME drives.
Geo YinYang. Kitty i dont think there is a very big difference between sata and nvme drives when it comes to cloning
No diffence i did it 3 days ago. Just clone the C drive and follow prompts its pretty much like what this video shows. To me litterly a total time of 20mins 4 for the setup and the rest is just letting it do it
Thank you Jay!! Love your channel. Your videos have helped me a lot. Best whishes
Excellent! Love macrium. I actually never new you could “extend” a drive like that. Cheers Jay!
I can already hear people complaining about Jayz not ejecting his drive before unplugging it
BUT IDIOTS AT HIGH SCHOOL DO IT ALL THE TIME! THEN LOSE THERE DATA!
Hey JayzTwoCents, can you make the video about the cloning OS? but please show us Macrium Reflect and Samsung data migration. I want to upgrade to 970 EVO on black friday and I'm not sure how to clone it right with the OS
samsung has the best software included with the drive, just used that youll be fine
Yesh, but what if I split the drive?
I mean I have 1TB but I split it into a C and D drive
@@Mr1Makaveli why did you partition the drive there is very little need nor benefit in doing so.
Because I wanted drive C to be for the system
and drive D for the games
I didn't have enough money to buy another drive when I bought the PC
+Amir A.A You could just install everything on C drive. But when you clone a disk, it will clone all partitions as well. Same procedure as Jay did in this video.
Jay you are the BEST keep doing what you do!
Thanks Jay. This video was VERY helpful
Question. Would just copying the steam library to another dive be as simple?
Yes, just copy it over to new drive, go into steam download, and add the new directory to the list.
You could just use the built-in steam backup as well
@Santiago Ferrari I would think learning how to do it the manual way would be a better way before going into the automated way. Incase the automated way.. Aka program ever fails you and vise versa.
@Santiago Ferrari what is the difference when It comes to files and such? Excluding say operating system
What about ctrl+C ctrl+V?
That could work, however some files won't copy over (mainly OS files because windows) so reflect actually helps in taking care of that where *EVERYTHING* gets copied over, and the only thing that changes is the drive partition letter
@@N1sm0NIC i think he was joking
GhostAdder still a good answer
As long as you can see hidden files, no reason it shouldnt work...
I used copy/paste to clone sd cards to a larger capacities for my 3ds before and after jailbreaking them
That would have actually work in this use case, unless you wanted to keep the files in the recycle bin... Cloning is more usefull for moving an OS
Well, your content Jay is getting more and more interesting!
I love these tutorials. Please do more!
I digress™
This is now my favorite thing to use.
:D
**cough*Clonezilla*cough**
Thanks JayzTwoCents. Its very useful.
Yesssssssss. awesome video and I love to see the tutorial on windows cloning. Love your videos btw.
Uhhhhhhhhh rtx on
Better make a video "How to get the most out of your FX8350!"
Thanks Jayz for this video!
This is really informative! Thank you Jay!
You don't need any unnecessary software or even watch this video to do something as simple as copying Steam games. Go to C:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common in file explorer and just copy the folders somewhere else. Problem solved. Want to backup local file saves too? C:\SteamLibrary\userdata. Want to backup current game downloads? C:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\downloading This doesn't need a video to explain this. Same works for Origin and Uplay games too.
Excalibur not all games are downloaded through these.
I was going to say the same thing. pointless to make a video. quick google search would find all the info needed to backup files/games/OS to be used on a different PC or backup. all drives have directions to format/partition and such as well. LoL
SWTORtv not all people enjoy reading jumbled articles online, yes they’re accessible but not all people can learn through reading.
I for one would rather prefer watch a video where I can SEE the process rather than spending a little while longer reading an article by a random writer/journalist
And yet thousands of people have said thank you.
Maybe just carry on to your next video.
You probably don't even need to read as they most likely provide screenshots.
Also, who does not accidentally stumble across the game backup feature on steam, I imagine it is easy enough to use too. Even then, a little research goes a long way...are people really incapable of following instructions "on paper" now? I guess we now need video instructions for everything, because it's gotta be entertaining too for those that can't pay attention past the 3rd word of a sentence. Most articles keep it concise.
All I would add is: Sometimes the savefiles are in the game folder (non-issue), but they can also be in the documents folder. In that case, if cloud saves are enabled, that is again a non-issue. But if you have a game that does not support it, you have to backup that folder as well. Unless steam does it automatically via the backup feature (never needed to use it and it's not really an issue that needs googling), though I expect it to strictly work with the game files/folder only.
Nice I did not need this video but u solved the problem that my updates were being installed on my second drive. Thank you
YES more videos like this...thanks man!!
This video helped me today. thank you very much 2cents
Jay you rock! Saved the day again!!!
Noticed the corsair spec case on the top shelf behind you still love that case
Thanks for the info, that'll come in handy. I look forward to the how to for cloning my windows drive video.
Thank you for the tips Jayz :) very useful and helpful for a soon to be first time pc builder.
awesome, thx for the info Jay!
I remember when we used to be just 600 subscribers, now we are 1.6 M great work. Keep it up!!!!
It would be awsome if you did a video explaining how to transfer data and or hard drives from your old computer to the new one you just showed us how to build. Thanks Jay keep up the great work!
Please do that boot drive cloning vid! Your videos have been an AMAZING resource when I built and as I maintain my first gaming rig, and I'm planning on upgrading my boot drive and CPU soon, so a guide on this would be fantastic!
hahaha your editing cracks me up... very informative video, thanks!
Omg Jay! Was just fiddling with an old hdd to use as backup/when ever storage. Thank you for the video! And yepp windows clone would be cool to watch
Please more tutorials, after some time of not doing these tasks is real treat as a refresher on how and what programs to use...
Holy crap Jay! I could have used this last year!!! Thanks none-the-less. Great advice 👍
Great vid! Don't need this yet, but good to know when I get to the situation where my steam fills up my drive to the point where I need to put the library on a separate drive.
JayzTechTips ❤️ i have learned a lot about computers from JayzTwoCents.
Thanks man really helpful
Great video Jay thank you
Great tutorial, I learned something new and will be useful in the future.
Great video Jay. I definitely want to see the windows 10 clone vide. Doing my first build soon and am wanting to implement backups that may one day require os cloning.
Sweet video. Thanks for the great info.
You're the man Jay!
thanks so much for this Jay need it so much thanks again
Thanks Jay that was good help
Great video - I was about to google search how to do this, but your comprehensive video did the trick!! Thank you so much!!!
Also - YES to the WIN10 Video!!
Oh,yes !!!
All hail to the mighty Jay !!!
Entered and thanks for this. I clone drives quite often and hate the WD software I got some time ago.
Thx for this Video it did help me a lot to Clone my Windows SSD to a new i did get on my B day
rly like your content
that software is super useful thanks for the heads up on that! i normally used the one time free use software that comes with most SSDs.
We use this at work for imaging computers. Works great!
I think it dates me a great deal that the expansion-portion of the disk-tool is my most appreciated addition. That used to be SUCH a hassle.
LOVE THE SPONGEBOB INTERMISSION keep it up
I just used that reflect last night...love it would live see the windows clone
Thnx Jay, this is a very useful vid for me! Pls also make a vid about that Windows copy!!!!
A shortcut for those interested. Macrium should pick up on the unformatted disk. You just need to drag and drop the partitions from the source disk to the target as mentioned at 4:44. If there's data already on the disk then delete the existing partitions. Extending the partition can be done from that same screen as well (Automatically for the last partition you drag/drop I believe)
Thank you Sir!!! Great tutorial!!!
I would love a cloning tutorial one thing your channel needs!
Just about to do this thanks so much
Love that youtubes choice of next video is The Verges iPhone xs clip :P
Jay, these type of videos are awesome to for the newbzzzzzz. I already knew how to do this, but I'd like to see what you recommend to clone Windows 10 OS to another SSD. Thansk :)
This black Friday I will be getting my first ever SSD to give my AMD FX8320 and new lease on life. So would really really love a video on cloning my Win10 drive so I dont right away have to do a full reinstall on the new drive. Thanks Jay
This was very interesting. Thanks Jay. I think I'm gonna buy myself an external SSD.
