    I have been following a tutorial on how to migrate an existing install on HDD to an SSD. I have the SSD installed and ready, (and all prep work done on the HDD) but when I use EaseUS Partition Master and select "copy" then try to select the destination drive the "next" button is greyed out. I can't select any drives or partitions, the button is always greyed out. The tutorial didn't say to format the new SSD partition so I did that but still can't select it. Any advice on what I am doing wrong or a different cloning software/process to use?

    At some point I will do a full, new install on the SSD but for many reasons can't do it now.

    Win7 ultimate, 256GB OCZ SSD. Did the following to get it ready:

    Diskpart
    List disk
    Select disk n (where n is your SSD’s number as provided by the previous command)
    Create partition primary align=1024
    Active

    Exit

    No activation code that I can find. Nothing in the box, no stickers, no papers. The number on the box doesn't work.

    Just went ahead and downloaded the Paragon app, turned out to be quick and easy and worth every penny. All done and working great!
