As PC users seek to take advantage of SSDs’ better access time, read/write speeds, and resistance to physical shock from drops, the challenge becomes moving massive amounts of data, applications and the operating system from the existing hard drive to a smaller SSD. Paragon’s intuitive wizard simplifies the migration process, automatically downsizing the source system volume and providing intelligent selection of specific files when migrating to smaller-capacity drives, and auto-aligning copied system partitions – all without rebooting the system.
New and major features in Paragon Migrate OS to SSD 4.0:
• NEW! Support for Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2
• NEW! Windows 8-style GUI
• The option to build a WinPE bootable media to do migrations or to fix various boot problems without installing the product
• Migration of 64-bit Windows systems configured to the uEFI-based boot mode directly under Windows, without any work interruption or having to reboot
Key product features include:
• Migrates Windows to larger or smaller storage devices in a single operation
• Supports all Windows systems since XP, including Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2
• Migrates 64-bit Windows systems configured to the uEFI-based boot mode
• Automatically aligns partitions on the destination disk, if necessary
• Automatically detects and copies Microsoft Reserved Partition (MSR) for successful migrations of Windows 7
• Allows the user to exclude data during the process in order to fit in to the destination disk
• Processes locked (in-use) disks with Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) to migrate without rebooting Windows
• Includes Paragon's time-proven move/resize functionality
• Guarantees safety for the system and data
The technology that powers Paragon Migrate OS to SSD 4.0 comes from Paragon's Hard Disk Manager 14, the company's recently upgraded full-function disk management toolkit that also provides optimization of NTFS volumes, Windows migration to dissimilar hardware, backup and recovery, simplified virtualization of an existing system, and more.
