now this is something that I've been meaning to take a look at for a long time this is the Intel data migration
software it's powered by acronis so oh
apparently there's a full version that you can get why don't we find out what
happens if you try and get the full version okay upgrade from Intel data
migration software with a 40% off discount so
$29.99 so after that you can have continuous data protection you can
create complete dis images perform incremental and differential backups
backup specific documents folders and categories and have access to the archives at back at any time and
anywhere using online backup neat okay
well let's get rid of that for now and
what I'm going to do is I'm just going to do the basic things so there's a few things that are included in the basic
version uh so there's a data migration software media Builder so you can create
a bootable media uh with the Intel
components you select so there's a data migration software okay includes drivers
for USB PC scuzzy hard disks as well as a report thing okay so we can do this we
can run aonis Drive cleanser so we can delete all the data off drives we can
add new discs which we're not going to do what we are going to do is we're going to click Start now we are going to
use the automatic parameters and we are going to take the data from the Silicon
power drive that I'm using as my boot drive right now which clearly isn't
large enough for my test PC because I'm already totally full I haven't even
installed any games other than hawks 2 and I'm going to to migrate them over to
an Intel 120 gig SATA 3 SSD so I'm going
to select a source dis which is this guy
I'm going to select a Target disc which is this guy yeah that's fine and uh
let's see how this goes ah yes I'll be
clicking proceed right about now
okay so the software prompted me to reboot and uh here's what it came up
with please Focus do your best camera okay so
it's copying the partitions it's uh copying from that sand Force based drive
to not this Intel Drive the other Intel Drive the one back there it's a 510
Series 120 gig SSD and uh yeah till the
operation's taking a little while and then hopefully I'll have a new OS Drive
hey look there's me so the data migration software says I
am done so what I'm going to do now is I'm going to press any key to shut down
the computer there we go then I'm going to
unplug the sand Force SSD leaving only
my Intel SSD plugged into the system and
I'm going to boot it back up let's see how let's see if we get into
Windows okay there we go
starting Windows excellent there's my
test
bench
and there we go just like that that was easy the
Catalyst Control Center blah blah blah that makes sense because I have an
NVIDIA card my system finished restart
required so I got to restart in order to install drivers for the SSD that I'm
currently using all right but let's see here where
do we what do we got okay so yeah internal system disc everything is
working 100% with that simple little
process so that my friends is how to use
the Intel data migration tool to take
your old boot Drive whether it's an SSD a hard drive a USB drive an SD card
whatever the case may be and migrate the data over to a new
SSD thank you for checking out this little episode of NCI NC Tech tips Linus
