Re: Migrating Windows from an HDD to an SSD

Does this work with the Free version or do you need purchase the Home Version of EaseUS ($29 USD)? It appears the latter may be required.
I tried your method on a Gateway computer with Win10 (x64), and the computer didn't find a bootable SSD after the process; I ended up disconnecting the SSD and reconnected the HDD so that the computer would boot/run as usual. I was using a Western Digital SSD:

Perhaps related (and I can't recall if this was before or after the HDD to SSD attempt), there was a wireless network card in the computer that caused grief with Windows update to 1709. It took an entire weekend for me to figure out that I needed to remove that unused card from the system before Windows would finally update to 1709.
