![]() Following the instructions, I then removed the old HDD, expecting the system to start up extremely quickly, as it should have, since I had just moved everything to the SSD. After this process was done, the system shut itself down. EaseUS ToDo Backup opened (outside the OS - the OS didn't boot) and showed a progress bar with the time elapsed and the estimated time of completion. After I clicked proceed, it notified me that my system had to be restarted to complete the task, and then it restarted. Under Advanced options, I checked the "Optimize for SSD)" box. I followed the instructions, choosing C (the 2 TB hard drive with 71 GB of data on it) as the source and E (the newly allocated but empty SSD) as the target.

Although I have the HDD will hold 2 TB, I removed all my games and unnecessary files in order to make the drive contents small enough to fit on the 240 GB SSD. I've purchased and installed a 240 GB Sandisk SSD Plus in order to boot Windows 10 from it (and store my program files there as well) in order to increase the speed of my system. My CPU is an Intel i7 6700, I have 12 GB of RAM, and a 2 TB Seagate 7200 RPM HDD. I'm running Windows 10 64-bit on my HP Envy 750-137c.
