To execute the Windows migration process safely and accurately, we will utilize the MiniTool Partition Wizard tool, which is pre-integrated on the NHV BOOT Desktop

The key advantage of MiniTool Partition Wizard is its ability to clone the entire operating system to a new SSD or HDD while preserving the original partition structure, data, and Windows license. Begin by launching the application

In this guide, we select option 2

Final Note: After the software reports success, restart your computer, access BIOS, and set the new drive as the primary boot device to complete the operation
