HDD to SSD?
I want to switch from an HDD to an SSD, but I'm unsure about installing Windows 10. How do I install Windows 10 on the SSD using a USB stick or something else?

SSDs perform much worse than they should, what could fix it?
As you can see below, Patriot Burst is fairly new, and SSDs are also relatively new. It shouldn't be the hard drives themselves. It works fine, except that it's slower than expected (still faster than an HDD, so I haven't done anything about it yet).
HDD is spinning but is not recognized + I/O device error?
Assembled the PC and moved the hard drives from the old PC to the new one. All SSDs work but the HDD doesn't. It is not displayed in Explorer, all cables are connected correctly and other connectors or cables have already been tried. However, it is recognized in the “Disk Management” program, the Windows program…
Do you know a good 2TB SSD hard drive (picture)?
I'd actually get it, but I haven't done any research.
Hard drive?
ByLuka976
I opened my hard drive today because it was making strange noises. I just don't know if this (let's say) pointer belongs there or somewhere else. Can someone please tell me where it belongs or if it fits there? This is a Samsung hard drive with 500 GB (HDD)
How to clone an HDD to an SSD externally if the SSD is not recognized?
Do I understand correctly that I should remove the old hard drive, put in the new one and if the BIOS recognizes it, what then? Is there live software that I can burn to DVD and then use to format the SSD in the notebook without an operating system? Or do I have to set…
That’s what you do.
First you get a USB stick with at least 8 gigabyte storage space where either nothing is on it or where only things are on it that can be deleted.
With this stick you go to a computer that runs as error-free as possible and probably has no viruses on it.
Then go to the Microsoft website and search for the “Media Cration Tool”
You download this and install the Windows installation files.
When the stick is finished, you go to your turned-off computer. The Usb stick is then inserted and the PC is started. During the installation it is asked whether you want to use normal settings or use expert settings.
Expert settings are selected. Then everything is deleted that is called “Partitions” and Windows will be installed afterwards.
After Windows has been installed, you need to install the motherboard drivers by the motherboard manufacturer. Then the graphics card drivers from the graphics card manufacturer.
… if there’s already a working Windows on the HDD, I’d just clone it on the SSD if nothing else was changed on the computer, it’s probably the fastest way and you don’t lose anything.
Do not forget to change Bio’s boot gear.
If you already have a working system on your HDD, it can also be transferred to a SSD (must be from Samsung)
Samsung describes this quite well on this page incl. Video:

It worked with me every time!
You can either reinstall Windows on the SSD or Windows from the HDD to the SSD, so there are also zich Tutorials on YouTube, simply search.
With Media Creation Tool or Rufus
Would recommend the first (is user-friendly)
You’re running the HDD and just running the SSD and then just using the USB stick you’ve previously prepared using MediaCreatioNTool
Make a boat stick and connect the SSD, then select the SSD in the bios and install Win via the stick
