Your SSD Manufacturer should provide that, in my case I used Sandisk recommended software

Worked perfectly, I connected the ssd via sata to my case and copied C drive from HDD to SSD and then booted from it, after I made sure everything worked fine I deleted the old windows.
Hi
There's a software called Acronis, it let you clone your window partition, save it on other memory location (flash, other partition, bluray) and in any time you could reinstall this cloned partition, it is really very useful in case you don't want to loose you current software and windows configuration.

i ordered Samsung evo 850 do you think samsung program is good. Mayyad does your program work with genuine windows 10 ?
hey Brave_Heart, if you ordered a Samsung SSD, a utility called Samsung Magician will come with it, just install it on your previous windows installation, connect the new SSD via an additional sata cable, and it works like a a charm.
