My first SSD how to clone to HDD partitions

An SSD has to be in proper alignment. I have had issues with imaging, unless the image came from an aligned SSD. Others do not have such problems. There is a good tutorial here about transfering the OS by WHS which I can't get to right now. My prefered method is Paragon Migrate ($19.95) it will transfer the OS align it and has worked without fail for me on numerous occasions.

thanks. I tried several programs and none of them would work the right way.
My System drive is a 200GB partition (70GB used) on a 1TB drive, all the other tools wanted to clone the entire drive, and I couldn't select only the System partition to clone.

Paragon Migrate did it correctly and was really easy to use, and it didn't take very long. Less than 15 minutes.

Glad you have it working like you want it. And thanks for letting us know the results.

I'm not the OP, just another member that found this thread and was able to get a solution that worked. Thanks.
