The Challenge
Migrating software environment (an operating system and applications) to another storage
device can be a slow and painful process to the unprepared. Mostly it has to do with a hard drive
(HDD) that doubles in capacity every two years, thus opening up new possibilities for
developers. As a result programs become more complicated and space-consuming.
To keep up with burgeoning software, users may think they are simply doomed to regular
hardware upgrades involving the purchase of a new drive, and the headaches that go along with
re-installing OSs and applications. Fortunately, there's a way to save time and effort by using
special migration tools. Many of these tools performed well when migrating to larger drives, that
is - until solid state drives (SSD) appeared on the scene.
The latest SSDs do not boast high capacity, but rather smaller size and faster processing
speeds over regular hard drives. Plus, they are completely indifferent to mechanical impact, a
feature crucial for mobile computers. These benefits are leading more and more users to consider
migrating their OS to SSDs to get the most out of their systems. The main obstacle users are faced
with is the modest capacity of SSDs for the price. So, how do you migrate an OS and hundreds
of gigabytes of data on one huge volume to a SSD drive of 80-128GB? Up until now, the only solution
was to re-partition the HDD first, and then perform the migration using a special utility to
separate the system and data, a process which risked data loss and was quite time
consuming.
A New Solution from Paragon
Paragon Software has a better way. By developing a unique technology that transfers Windows (any version since XP) to a smaller capacity disk in a single operation, you can now simply and efficiently migrate OSs from a high capacity HDD to a speedy new SSD.
What makes our technology work is a handy intuitive wizard called Migrate OS to SSD. Here’s how it works:
At launch, the wizard detects all existing Windows operating systems. Users then specify which OS they want to migrate. The wizard then automatically picks one or two partitions (Windows 7 may have Microsoft System Reserved, a special hidden partition that contains critical boot files) and prompts the user to select a destination disk. If the selected disk is big enough to hold the operating system, it starts the migration. If not, it asks the user to exclude data by unchecking boxes next to unnecessary files or folders. When the proper size is reached, the migration begins.
The intuitive wizard transfers a Windows system to another disk with minimal effort. The only action needed by the user after the migration is to configure the destination disk as the first boot device in BIOS which automatically starts the new system.

Why try Migrate OS to SSD?
- Migrates Windows to larger or smaller storage devices in a single operation
- Supports any Windows since XP (including Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2)
- Automatically aligns partitions on the destination disk if necessary
- Automatically detects and copies MSR for successful migrations of Windows 7
- Allows the user to exclude data during the process in order to fit the destination
disk
- Processes locked (in-use) disks with MS VSS to migrate without rebooting Windows
- Includes Paragon's time-proven move/resize functionality
- Guarantees safety for the system and data.
