Can I Move Windows from a 2TB HDD to a 128GB SSD?
I have Windows 10 installed on my 2TB HDD, and I also have a 128GB SSD available. And I know SSD will have better performance, so I want to transfer my Windows 10 from that HDD to SSD. Can I move my Windows from a larger HDD to a smaller SSD?

Yes, you can move your Windows from a 2TB HDD to a 128GB SSD. All you need is to clone your HDD to SSD with professional cloning software like EaseUS Disk Copy. But you have to ensure that the SSD is enough to hold your operating system.
Generally speaking, the 128GB SSD is enough for the Windows 10 operating system in the long run, but after that, it won't leave you much room for storage.
To transfer your Windows from HDD to SSD, you must use a third-party cloning utility to help you because Windows/Microsoft does not have a built-in cloning program.
EaseUS Disk Copy is the second-to-none choice. It can help you upgrade HDD to SSD without reinstalling Windows and transfer Windows from a smaller drive to a larger one or a larger one to a smaller one. In addition, it can help you clone a disk with bad sectors, clone drives with different sizes, create an image of a USB drive, and resize the partitions during cloning.
Here is how to clone your Windows from an HDD to an 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 transfer your Windows from a larger HDD to a smaller SSD with the help of professional cloning software like EaseUS Disk Copy. But you have to ensure that the destination drive can hold your data on the source drive. And you'd better back up your data on the drive in case something goes wrong during the cloning process.
