Replace old HDD with new SSD: When you buy a new SSD and want to move your existing Windows 10 operating system from the old drive to the new disk.

If you're upgrading from an HDD to an SSD, make the most of the extra speed it offers by setting the SSD as your boot drive.

Move your program files from an SSD drive to an HDD drive without reinstalling the programs on the target drive using Robocopy or Easus.

For example, booting up a computer with an SSD can take less than 10 seconds, while the same process on an HDD might take over a minute.

The first is a SATA SSD, which comes in a 2.5-inch form factor and connects to your motherboard with the same cables and ports as a SATA HDD. The second (and newer) is the M.2 SSD.
