First, the SDM software scans the system for connected drives, and will show only the important partitions to the user. The process took us only about 20 seconds to set up.

Samsung recommends a 10% over provisioning rate so on a 250GB SSD drive you should have 23.85GB of OP space reserved. Samsung's Data Migration 3.0 is an extremely simple tool for transferring over all existing files and programs from a current HDD or SSD to a new Samsung drive. Over Provisioning is leaving raw unpartitioned space at the end of the drive so that the SSD controller can remap data from worn memory cells on the SSD hard drive. This simple task is often overlooked, ignored, or plain misunderstood.

The most important thing you can do to increase the reliability and performance of an SSD is to over provision some space at the end of the drive.

Thanks to Kubomi: "A note that may be important to viewers is that if you have an 'active' partition be sure after you drag the partitions that the 'active' and 'primary' tags match up across both drives otherwise you may run into booting problems, although this can also be solved by having the windows rescue disc at hand." I don't want you to be stuck without Windows in case something goes wrong. If by any chance, you happen to fail using the Samsung Data Migration Software, then using this software to clone hard drive to SSD in Windows 10 is another good approach. A great alternative to the Samsung Data Migration Software is the AOMEI Partition Assistant Professional. MAKE SURE to take every precaution before cloning, including 1) creating a rescue disk and 2) creating an image of the original 1 TB drive. Ready with the new Samsung SSD for faster and spacious performance.
