⏰ 0:25 Migrate Windows 10 to NVMe without OS Reinstallation
Installing Windows 10 from scratch on the NVMe SSD is not a simple process. At this time, you might consider whether it is possible to move Windows 10 to NVMe SSD from the current HDD or SATA SSD without reinstalling and it will be successful to boot Windows 10 from NVMe SSD after migration. I can assure you, the answer is yes.

In fact, you can easily complete Windows 10 OS migration as long as you turn to proper cloning software for Windows. Here AOMEI Partition Assistant Professional would be my preference for the following reasons:
✔ Bootable clone
✔ Flexible
✔ Compatible
✔ Easy-to-use

Preparation:
▪ Connect the NVMe SSD to your computer and make sure that it can be detected by OS.
▪ Initialize new SSD as GPT partition style.
▪ Back up the target NVMe SSD if there is necessary data on it.

1. Run the software. In the main interface, choose All Tools and Disk Clone Wizard.
2. It pops up a window where you need to choose a way to clone Windows 10 hard drive to NVMe SSD. Here I choose the first one.
3. Choose the Windows 10 disk as your source disk and click the Next button.
4. Select the new NVMe SSD as your destination disk. Check "Optimize the performance of SSD" to make SSD 4k alignment. Then, click "Next".
5. In this window, you can change the partition size on the destination disk.
You’ll see a Note about how to boot from cloned disk after the operation. Keep it in mind and click Finish.
6. Click "Apply" and "Proceed" to execute the operation.

⏰ 2:46 How to Boot Windows 10 from Cloned NVMe SSD
After cloning Windows 10 to NVMe SSD, if you have no idea about how to boot Windows 10 from the cloned SSD, please shut down your computer and refer to the following content.

If you can and will keep your old drive and new NVMe SSD at the same time, you can reboot the computer and enter BIOS to set the new NVMe SSD as the first boot device and boot from it. If there is only one NVMe M.2 slot but is occupied by an old NVMe SSD, you can take out the old NVMe SSD and put it in the new cloned M.2 NVMe SSD drive. Now you may go to clone your drive easily.
