Hi what is the best way to transfer from my existing samsung 840 pro /c drive to a newer 860 pro 512gb drive the last time i did this i used samsung magaician and just cloned the drive but this feature does not seem available now in magaician
 
Thanks that is how i must have transfered before ,another point does the ssd 860 pro come with sata leads? probably not im guessing and it sata 3 i need i think .So ssd drives have nearly 1/2 the cost of buying since i purchased the 840 pro 256gb now 860 pro 512gb similar pricing if my memory is correct but with twice the capacity ,although not the 10 year gaurantee of previous drives .
 
Ok i now have a issue i can boot from both drives but i want to formatt the old drive which if plugged in becomes my boot drive again and windows will not allow me to formatt this drive.
 
ok been trying disk managment delete not working Disk part seems to be a option also ill follow internet guides for this ta althought i went to reboot from cloned disk and it didnt reboot so going through the process again ill probaly end up with buying windows 10 on a clean install .
 
Capture 1 by Paul Stuart, on Flickr Tried both samsung magician seemed the better of the 2 Macrium Reflect seemed to divide my hard drive in 3 parts as opposed to 2 i now have this Disk 0 is local disc (c) Disk 1 is Local Disc f & G I want to format Disc 0 , I now have windows 10 on disc 0 and disc 1 but it prefers to boot up from disc 0 when both are plugged in together which is not the drive i want as my my boot up drive as it is now becoming filled up.
