Intel Data Migration Software users have encountered issues when using the software to clone contents from old storage drives to their new Intel Solid-State Drive. Specifically, some users have found difficulty in cloning from a HDD to an Intel SSD.
Intel Data Migration Software only works with Intel SSDs as the source or destination disk, and not with other SSDs.
For Intel users who are having trouble using the Intel Data Migration software to clone their HDD/SSD to a new/bigger SSD, finding an alternative is crucial, especially since the software is not compatible with non-Intel Solid-State Drives.
Qiling Backup, a top-rated backup software and disk cloning utility, has been chosen as an alternative to Intel Data Migration due to its seamless compatibility with Windows 10 and its ability to clone disks from/to various hard drive brands, including Intel, Samsung, Kingston, Toshiba, Crucial, and Sandisk.
How to use Qiling clone software

Step 4. Preview the disk layout and click "Proceed".
Also, tick the option "Optimize for SSD" to achieve a better SSD performance after clone.
