My Asus laptop has a 1TB HDD, and I recently purchased a 2TB NVMe-type SSD. I plan to clone my OS from my HDD to an SSD while using Windows 10, but both the cloning and image-restoring processes result in different sector size errors. Can I clone my OS from HDD to SSD with different sector sizes?
Yes, you can clone your OS from an HDD to an SSD with different sector sizes. But you have to use third-party disk cloning software like EaseUS Disk Copy to help you.
It's common practice to clone HDD to SSD to improve performance, upgrade an old hard drive, or make a backup copy. You can clone a larger HDD to a smaller SSD, such as from 1TB to 500GB, or a hard drive to a larger disk, such as from 500GB to 1TB, if you use reliable cloning software to aid you with the cloning process.
When you clone a hard drive to an SSD, you might encounter that the 2 drives have different sector sizes. But this is no longer the case with the help of EaseUS Disk Copy.
It is a practical and multi-functional cloning tool for Windows. It can help you migrate Windows from HDD to SSD and transfer your operating system from one SSD to another. In addition, it lets you clone a hard drive with bad sectors, resize the partition during the copying process, and create an image of a USB drive easily and quickly.
Here is how to clone your HDD to SSD with EaseUS Disk Copy:
Step 1. To start cloning an entire disk to another, select this drive as the source disk under "Disk Mode" and click "Next".
Step 2. Select another disk as the destination disk.
Step 3. Check the disk layout of the two drives. You should manage the disk layout of the destination drive by choosing "Autofit the disk", "Copy as the source", or "Edit disk layout".
Step 4. Click "Proceed" to execute the task.
You can clone your OS from an HDD to an SSD without trouble. However, you have to use professional cloning software like EaseUS Disk Copy.
