在Windows(Windows)中升级或更改主HDD/SSD时，如果您需要重新安装Windows 11/10 ，会很痛苦。不仅需要时间，而且安装Windows更新、驱动程序、应用程序并重新配置所有内容也很乏味。由于您已经安装了Windows 11/10，如果您可以将其克隆到新的硬盘驱动器，那就太好了。在这篇文章中，我们将分享如何将Windows 10传输到外部硬盘驱动器。
将 Windows 11/10 转移到外置硬盘(External Hard Drive)
Windows 11/10 提供了一个内置选项来创建系统映像( create a System Image)。它创建了当前Windows 11/10的精确副本，可用于安装任意数量的计算机。它在需要在多台计算机上安装Windows 11/10同样，Windows 11/10还提供使用高级恢复(Advanced Recovery)方法下可用的系统映像恢复来恢复计算机。(System Image Recovery)我们将使用这些方法将Windows 11/10传输到外部硬盘驱动器。使用这篇文章，您可以将Windows 11/10安装(Installation)移动到另一个HDD或SSD。
- 使用创建系统映像(Create System Image)功能创建备份
- 连接新硬盘
- 使用高级恢复(Advanced Recovery)恢复系统映像(System Image)
1]使用创建系统映像(Create System Image)功能创建(Create)备份
- 将外部硬盘驱动器连接到计算机。
- 在运行提示中，键入 sdclt.exe，然后按 Enter 键。它将打开Windows 的备份和还原功能。
- 接下来单击左上角的创建系统映像链接。(Create a system image)
- 它将启动创建系统(Create System)映像向导，您可以选择将文件备份到硬盘、DVD或网络位置。
发布这个；您必须选择要备份的驱动器。如果您要完全复制硬盘驱动器，这很有用。如果它只是您要备份的操作系统，并且计划将此行程用作辅助操作系统，那么您可以跳过它们。
2]连接新硬盘
在我们继续之前，让我们先弄清楚一件事。我们存储备份的硬盘不能是您正在传输Windows 10的新硬盘。在使用系统(System)映像恢复方法之前，请确保将要移动Windows 10的新硬盘驱动器和具有恢复映像的驱动器都已连接。您不需要创建分区(create Partitions)。确保新硬盘驱动器与我们在上述步骤中创建的驱动器的映像大小相同或具有更大的存储空间。
3 ]使用高级恢复(Advanced Recovery)恢复系统映像(] Restore System Image)
由于我们正在将Windows 10移至新硬盘驱动器，因此您需要一个可启动的 USB才能启动到高级恢复(Recovery)模式。确保(Make)在BIOS中将其设置为启动驱动器，并在计算机启动时使用 F8。要使用映像进行恢复，请选择(Select) 修复您的计算机(Repair your computer)，然后选择系统映像恢复(System Image Recovery) ，然后按照屏幕上的说明进行操作。
将启动一个向导，该向导将自动定位系统映像。单击下一步(Click Next)，以便它可以将映像安装到连接到计算机的主驱动器上。您将可以选择系统映像。很少(Few)有高级还原选项可以帮助您进一步自定义还原过程。该过程将完全清除驱动器并使用模型创建适当的分区，然后恢复操作系统和文件。
移除可启动USB，计算机应启动到恢复的驱动器。如果您没有更改硬件，它应该可以像以前一样工作，但如果您确实更改了，Windows Update会自动下载新的驱动程序。
此方法还可用于从任何重大损坏或计算机无法启动时恢复您的计算机。如果您定期使用系统映像(System Image)创建方法进行备份，则可以使用它使计算机恢复工作状态。但是，无法恢复单个文件。只能使用文件历史记录方法。
如何将Windows 11/10 安装(Installation)移动到另一个磁盘或 SSD
即使您想将Windows 11/10安装移动到另一个磁盘或SSD，您也必须按照与上述相同的步骤进行操作。可以使用系统映像(System Image)方法进行迁移。只有两点不同：
- 首先，您必须插入内部硬盘驱动器。如果您不知道该怎么做，请寻求专业人士的帮助。
- 其次，在上述第一步中选择保存系统映像的位置时，您必须选择相应的内部硬盘驱动器而不是外部硬盘驱动器。
希望这可以帮助。
How to transfer Windows to an External or Internal Hard Drive
When υpgrading or changіng primary HDD/SSD in Windows, it’s painful if yoυ need to install Windows 11/10 again. Not only does it tаke time, but it is also tedious to install Windows uрdates, drivers, apps, and configure everуthing again. Since you alreadу have Windows 11/10 installed, it would be nice if you can clone it to a nеw hard drive. In this post, we will ѕhare how to transfer Windows 10 to an external hard driνe.
Transfer Windows 11/10 to an External Hard Drive
Windows 11/10 offers an inbuilt option to create a System Image. It creates an exact copy of the current Windows 11/10 and can be used to install o any number of computers. It is handy in Businesses and IT where Windows 11/10 needs to be installed on a number of computers. Similarly, Windows 11/10 also offers to restore the computer using System Image Recovery available under Advanced Recovery method. We will use these methods to transfer Windows 11/10 to an external hard drive. Using this post, you can move Windows 11/10 Installation to another HDD or SSD.
- Create a backup using the Create System Image feature
- Connect the new hard drive
- Restore System Image using Advanced Recovery
1] Create a backup using the Create System Image feature
- Connect the external hard drive to the computer.
- In the run prompt, type sdclt.exe, and hit the enter key. It will open the Backup & Restore feature of Windows.
- Next click on the Create a system image link in the left-top side.
- It will launch the Create System image wizard, and you can choose to backup files on a hard disk, DVD or a network location.
Post this; you will have to choose which drives to backup. It is useful if you are entirely replicating your hard drive. If it’s only the OS that you want to backup, and planning to use the trip as a secondary one, then you can skip them.
2] Connect the new hard drive
Before we go ahead, let’s get one thing clear. The hard drive where we have stored the backup cannot be the new hard drive where you are transferring Windows 10. Before you use the System image recovery method, make sure both the new hard drive, where you will move the Windows 10, and the drive which has the recovery image is connected. You do not need to create Partitions. Make sure the new hard drive is the same or has storage space more the image size of the drive we created in the above step.
3] Restore System Image using Advanced Recovery
Since we are moving Windows 10 to a new hard drive, you will need a bootable USB to boot into Advanced Recovery mode. Make sure to set it as the boot drive in the BIOS and use F8 when the computer boots. To restore using the image, Select Repair your computer, and then System Image Recovery and then follow the on-screen instructions.
A wizard will launch which will automatically locate the system image. Click Next so that it can install the image on the primary drive connected to the computer. You will have an option to select a system image. Few advanced restore options can help you further customize the restore process. The process will wipe out the drive entirely and use the model to create appropriate partitions and then restore the OS and the file.
Remove the bootable USB, and the computer should boot into the restored drive. If you haven’t changed hardware, it should work as before, but if you did change, Windows Update would download new drivers automatically.
This method can also be used to recover your computer from any major corruption or when the computer fails to boot. If you take backup using System Image creation method regularly, then you can use it to bring back the computer to a working condition. However, there is no way to recover individual files. It is only possible using File History method.
How to move Windows 11/10 Installation to another Disk or SSD
Even if you want to move Windows 11/10 installation to another disk or SSD, you have to follow the same steps as above. It is possible to make the migration happen using the System Image method. Only two things are different:
- First, you have to plug in the internal hard drive. In case you do not know how to do that, take the help of a professional.
- Second, you have to choose the respective internal hard drive instead of your external hard drive while choosing the location to save the system image in the first step mentioned above.
Hope this helps.
