HP EliteDesk 800 G3 Small Form Factor PC (ENERGY STAR)
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have a new SSD PCIeX4 drive installed on my EliteDesk 800 G3 sff and I would like to migrate my Windows 10 installation on to this drive. I have three drives installed. One, the old 2TB disc that I am running from now, another SATA SSD that I have backups on and the new SSD PCIeX4 drive.

 

What is the best way to go about this? My hope is to keep the SATA SSD drive and restore the backed up files from that drive and get rid of the 2TB disc drive.

 

I have made a few entreaties on this so far with no success:

Hi @ppksky 

 

Following is a copy of the reply to your last response in a different Thread:

 

Hi @ppksky 

 

Check Here for the free edition,

 

I would check Paragon Knowledge Base and Forum for assistance. Watch this YouTube video for tips. Check YouTube for additional assistance.

 

I explored the software to figure out how to use it. I used to use Macrium free but it is no longer available.

 

You have to install Windows ADK and create a Paragon USB Recovery drive to move a system image (outside of the OS) from external backup media to an existing drive or a new drive.

 

Paragon works great in my situation.

 

Try different free backup and recovery software. All of this software takes time to master the procedures.

 

I have been using Backup and Recovery software since 2000 (Norton Ghost). Also backed up to tape diskette prior to Norton.
