A partition can only expanding into empty space by being next to that empty space. If this is the case you need to delete the partitions on teh SSD and make sure the largest partition is the last one on the drive nex to the grey space. Sometimes there is a small recovery partition last that is stopping the main partition from expanding into the right size. This means the drive will not be formatted to the maximum size. You can see there is grey space on the right of the last partition. Sometimes the last partition is not the right size. The partitions need to be in the same order. Using your mouse, drag each partition down to the new SSD.
You can see three partitions in our example. Please note, if you are using a new SSD from Upgradeable, there will be no existing partitions, you do not have to do this step. If you have to do this option, then select the partition and click on “Delete Exisiting partition” link. In the example shown, you can see one large blue partition called SSD. If the drive has been formatted/initialised or if it has been used, then it will have exisiting partitions. If the new SSD is not there, check it has been plugged in, check connections. Now you have to select the target drive, the new SSD where you are cloning the drive to.Ĭlick on “Select a disk to clone to” link and a list of available drives should appear. If it is the correct drive, then click the link highlighted in the red box The top drive should be the original hard drive you want to clone. Once the download starts there will be a progress screen. You want to make sure you are installing the free edition. The install should be called ReflectDLHF but later editions could have a different name. The “free” version has everything we need to clone a drive. The 30 day trial version is good but it stops working after the trial period. To start: search for “Macrium Free Reflect”. If you need help, please contact our office. Macrium is not as user friendly but extremely powerful. If Acronis did not clone properly, then Macrium is the software we recommend as an alternative. If you are cloning to a non Crucial SSD such as Samsung, you can not use the free Acronis software and we recommend Macrium.
