Step 1: Run the Partition Wizard software and enter the main interface.
 
Step 2: Select a disk which needs to be migrated, then click the “Migrate OS to SSD/HD” in the toolbar.
 

 
Step 3: You will see two different migration methods. The first one is to copy all the partition on the system disk to the target disk. And the second one is to copy the system required partitions only. Just check one according to your needs and click the “Next” to continue.
 

 
Step 4: Select a destination disk. And click the “Next” to continue.

 
Step 5: A warning appears and click the “Yes” button.
 

 
Step 6: Review the changes or change copy options. You can choose “Fit partitions to entire disk” or “Copy partitions without resize”. Moreover, please check “Align partitions to 1MB” for your SSD. And if your target disk is larger than 2 TB, please check the “Use GUID Partition Table for the target disk”, which is a paid feature. And you can compare the main features of different editions and download the most suitable one based on your needs. And you can drag the arrow or type specific number to decide each partition size on the target disk. Finally, click the “Next” to continue.
 

 

 
Step 7: Read the note and you will know how to configure the BIOS to boot from the new disk. And click the “Finish” button to continue.
 

 

Step 8: Choose the “Apply” button on the top of the menu to clone Windows 10.
 

 

Copy Disk

 
Actually, the method “Copy Disk” is similar to the method “Migrate OS to SSD/HD”. So, we will introduce the “Copy Disk” to migrate Windows 10 simply. The followings are the operations.
 
Step 1: Run the Partition Wizard software and enter the main interface.
