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

Is this a software product?
I do use acronis can this be used to transfer drives/c

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 .

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.
