How to transfer the Windows operating system from a hard drive (HDD) to a solid state drive (SSD). Subtleties of data transfer that Windows help is silent about Transferring Windows 8 to an SSD laptop

Replacing a conventional hard drive with an SSD can significantly improve operating comfort and provide reliable data storage. This is why many users try to replace the HDD with a solid-state drive. However, after replacing the drive, you need to somehow transfer your operating system along with installed programs.

On the one hand, you can install everything again and then there will be no problems with moving to a new disk. But what to do if the old one has about a dozen programs, and the OS itself is already configured for comfortable work? It is this question that we will answer in our article.

So, you purchased a brand new SSD and now you need to somehow transfer the OS itself with all the settings and installed programs. Fortunately, we don't have to invent anything. Software developers (as well as the developers of the Windows operating system) have already taken care of everything.

Thus, we have two options: either use a third-party utility or standard Windows tools.

Before moving on to the instructions, we would like to draw your attention to the fact that the disk to which you will transfer your operating system must be no smaller than the one on which it is installed.

Method 1: Transfer OS to SSD using AOMEI Partition Assistant Standard Edition

First, let's take a closer look at the method of transferring an operating system using a third-party utility. Currently, there are many different utilities that allow you to easily transfer an OS. For example, we took the AOMEI Partition Assistant application. This tool is free and has a Russian interface.

  1. Among the large number of functions, the application contains a very convenient and simple wizard for transferring the operating system to another disk, which we will use in our example. The wizard we need is located on the left panel in the “ Masters", to call it, click on the command " Transfer OS SSD or HDD».

  2. A window with a small description appeared in front of us, after reading the information, click on the button “ Further" and move on to the next step.

  3. Here the wizard prompts you to select the disk where the OS will be transferred. Please note that the drive must not be partitioned, that is, it must not contain partitions or a file system, otherwise you will get an empty list at this step.

    So, once you have selected the target disk, click the “ Further" and move on.

  4. The next step will be marking the drive to which the operating system is transferred. Here you can change the partition size if necessary, but do not forget that the partition must be no smaller than the one on which the OS is installed. Also, if necessary, you can specify a letter for the new partition.

    Once all the parameters have been set, proceed to the next step by clicking the " Further».

  5. Here the wizard prompts us to complete the setup of the AOMEI Partition Assistant application to migrate the system to an SSD. But before that, you can read a small warning. It says that after a reboot, in some cases the OS may not boot. And if you encounter a similar problem, then you need to disconnect the old disk or connect a new one in place of the old one, and the old one in place of the new one. To confirm all actions, press the button “ End» and complete the wizard’s work.

  6. Next, in order for the migration process to begin, you must click the “ Apply».

  7. Party Assistant will display a window with a list of pending operations, where we just have to click the “ Go».

  8. This will be followed by another warning, where by clicking on the “ Yes", we confirm all our actions. After this, the computer will restart and the process of transferring the operating system to the solid-state drive will begin. The duration of this process will depend on a number of factors, including the amount of data being transferred, the speed of the HDD and the power of the computer.

After the migration, the computer will reboot again and now all that remains is to format the HDD to remove the OS and the old bootloader.

Method 2: Transfer OS to SSD using standard Windows tools

Another way to migrate to a new disk is to use standard operating system tools. However, you can use it if Windows 7 and higher are installed on your computer. Otherwise, you will have to use third-party utilities.

Let's take a closer look at this method using Windows 7 as an example.

In principle, the process of transferring an OS using standard means is not complicated and takes place in three stages:

  • creating a system image;
  • creating a boot drive;
  • unpacking the image to a new disk.
  1. So let's get started. In order to create an OS image, you need to use the Windows tool " " To do this, go to the menu “ Start" and open the "Control Panel".

  2. Next, you need to click on the link “ Backing up computer data" and you can proceed to creating a Windows backup. In the window " Archiving or restoring files“There are two commands we need, now we will use the creation of a system image, for this we click on the corresponding link.

  3. Here we need to select the drive on which the OS image will be written. This can be either a disk partition or a DVD. However, it is worth remembering that Windows 7, even without installed programs, takes up quite a lot of space. Therefore, if you decide to burn a copy of the system to DVD, you may need more than one disc.

  4. Having selected the location where you want to save the image, click “ Further" and move on to the next step.

    Now the wizard prompts us to select the sections that need to be included in the archiving. Since we are only transferring the OS, we don’t need to select anything; the system has already included all the necessary disks for us. Therefore, click " Further" and move on to the final step.

  5. Now you need to confirm the selected archiving options. To do this, click " Archive

  6. After a copy of the OS has been created, Windows will prompt you to create a bootable drive.

  7. You can also create a drive using the command “ Create a system repair disk" in the window " Archive or restore».

  8. At the first step, the bootable disk creation wizard will prompt you to select a drive in which a blank drive should already be installed for recording.

    9. Attention! If your work machine does not have writeable drives, you will not be able to burn the optical recovery drive.

  9. If there is a data disk in the drive, the system will offer to clear it. If you are using DVD-RW for recording, then you can clean it, otherwise you need to insert a clean one.

  10. To do this, go to “ My computer"and right-click on the drive. Now select the item “ Erase this disk».

  11. Now let’s return to creating a recovery drive, select the desired drive, click on the “ Create disk" and wait for the process to complete. Upon completion, we will see the following window:

    12. this indicates that the disk was successfully created.

    So, let's summarize. At this point, we already have an image with the operating system and a bootable recovery drive, which means we can move on to the third and final stage.

  12. Reboot the computer and go to the boot device selection menu.

    13. This can usually be done by pressing the F11 key, but there may be other options. Typically, function keys are listed on the BIOS (or UEFI) start screen, which is displayed when you turn on the computer.

  13. Next, the OS recovery environment will be loaded. At the first stage, for convenience, select the Russian language and press the button “ Next».

    14. After this, a search for installed systems will be performed.

  14. Since we are restoring the OS from a pre-prepared image, we move the switch to the second position and click “ Further».

  15. At this stage, the system itself will offer us a suitable image for recovery, so, without changing anything, click “ Further».

  16. You can now set additional parameters if necessary. To go to the last action, press the button “ Further».

  17. At the last stage, we will be shown brief information about the image. Now you can proceed directly to unpacking to disk, to do this, press the button “ Further" and wait for the process to complete.

At the end of the process, the system will automatically reboot and at this point the process of transferring Windows to the SSD can be considered complete.

Today we looked at two ways to switch from HDD to SSD, each of which is good in its own way. Having familiarized yourself with both, you can now choose the one that is more suitable for you in order to quickly and without data loss transfer the OS to a new disk.

The rapid growth in popularity of solid-state drives has led many personal computer users to decide to migrate Windows 8 to an SSD. But how exactly this can be done is a rather broad question.

Subtleties of the process

First of all, it is worth mentioning that transferring Windows 8 from HDD to SSD is not just one procedure, but a whole complex of different actions. Therefore, before you start, you need to think about whether you can handle everything required. Regardless of the method used to move data, you will have to:

  • Disassemble the system unit of a personal computer or, which is somewhat more difficult, a laptop.
  • Work with regular or UEFI BIOS.
  • Make a physical connection or replace one memory storage device with another.
  • In some cases, you will need to use USB-SATA adapters.

Not every more or less experienced user will be able to do everything necessary, not to mention beginners and inexperienced users. Based on all of the above, you should carefully consider whether to undertake this yourself or whether migrating Windows 8 to an SSD will require contacting a service center.

The type of device is also of great importance: personal computer or laptop. A priori, working with a laptop will be both more difficult in some places and much easier in some moments. So, depending on the manufacturer and design, in one case you can unscrew just two screws and use a proprietary utility, but in another you will need to disassemble the entire device and spend a long time fiddling with moving data with third-party applications or a system utility.

Methodology

Cloning a hard drive with Windows 8 has several fundamentally different patterns. Which one is simpler is decided by the one who plans to carry out such an operation. In general, the choice of algorithm depends on the available tools at the disposal of the device owner, both software and purely physical ones.

This section will outline everything that concerns the non-software component, and in the next one you will find exclusively a description of applications and the intricacies of working with them.

So, possible algorithms:

Of course, when choosing any of the above sequences of actions, you will need to disassemble your existing computer, since even after connecting using an adapter, the solid state drive will need to be installed in place of the old HDD.

Depending on the selected type of algorithm, some steps may simply be missing, which, in turn, will affect the subsequent BIOS setup. In some cases, it may simply be absent, for example, if the first pattern was used, but provided that the SSD is first installed, the laptop is started, and then the HDD is added.

Both additional fasteners and special adapters for working with a personal computer may be required.

Software side

There are a sufficient number of ways in which you can transfer absolutely all information from one memory storage device to another: from simple disk cloning to manual transfer using the command line. The most difficult ones to implement will not be considered here, since just mentioning all the stages will take the reader a lot of time.

Here we will consider 2:

  • Through branded applications.
  • Utilities from third-party developers.

Branded Applications

Almost every laptop manufacturer tries to add applications of its own design. The degree of their quality and ease of use varies from manufacturer to manufacturer, and sometimes only in some specific individual lines or models.

Samsung, ASUS, ACER, Lenovo, HP, Packard Bell, Dell and IBM add utilities to the operating system for fine-tuning and convenient work with a personal computer. The name of the desired program often contains the word Recovery. You can find it both in “All applications” and using “Search”.

We find, launch and look for the column, item or block where “Disk cloning” or “Operating system migration” appears.

After which it will be sequentially proposed:

  1. The original storage device.
  2. Target disk.
  3. Transfer form:
    • Full movement.
    • Partial with the ability to select one or more sections, as well as specific folders and files for transfer.
  4. Additional settings.

In some cases, the order may be changed, but these are the required steps.

Third party programs

Their choice is very large, and there are both specialized and general ones. Specialized utilities include Paragon Migrate OS to SSD or Samsung Data Migration.

Also, some applications for working with storage devices and images have built-in tools that allow you to clone both images of the system and the entire disk.

Many of us sometimes encounter a very unobvious problem when upgrading a personal computer. The hard drive is a priori the slowest component of a personal computer, especially if it is made in the form of a regular HDD. And you always want to somehow speed up your computer. And then, one day, you make up your mind and purchase a small but fast SSD and it seems that now life is about to get better. But an inexperienced user immediately faces a non-obvious task - how to transfer everything from the old HDD to the new SSD? There may be several options here.

Since many computers now run Windows 8.1, we will consider just such a configuration when a new SSD drive is installed in a computer with Win 8.1 installed. On this path, the user faces three problems:

  1. How to directly transfer the operating system, installed programs and data to a new disk?
  2. Typically, SSDs have a significantly smaller capacity than the HDD already installed in the computer, and there is a risk that everything simply won’t fit.
  3. Windows configured to boot via UEFI simply won't boot from another drive. And difficulties may arise even when simply reconnecting the drive to another controller port.

Let's try to figure out what to do and what to do when you have purchased an SSD, but it is not clear how to switch to it.

Reinstall the operating system again

Probably the most sensible option is to reinstall the operating system and all software again. In this case, all the problems that have accumulated in the system will disappear, and no one has canceled the degradation of the operating system. But, sometimes, the user categorically does not want to reinstall, because in this case everything acquired and configured over the years will disappear and he will have to spend days, weeks, and maybe months setting up all the components and programs again.

Use built-in Windows tools

It's already the 21st century, but the most popular desktop operating system, Windows, still does not have any built-in tool for migration within one computer. Although there are a couple of workarounds that can partly help a particularly patient and thoughtful computer enthusiast who strongly does not trust third-party software manufacturers.

Option 1 . In this case, you will still have to install Windows from scratch on the new disk, as well as install all the programs that are needed for use. And the transfer of data and settings is carried out using the built-in Windows tool Windows Easy Transfer. This tool not only allows you to migrate within an operating system of the same generation, but also between systems of different generations, for example, migrating from Windows XP to Windows 8.1.

Using Easy Transfer, you need to export all the necessary data and settings to a folder on your hard drive (just don’t overwrite it), an optical drive or a USB flash drive. And then, on a freshly installed system, it will be necessary to carry out the reverse operation, i.e. direct recovery. Of course, this is not an entirely fair migration from HDD to SSD, but it’s still better than nothing.

Apply a specialized product

And for the average user, not a computer science sensei, third-party manufacturers come to the rescue, offering a wide selection of software for migrating operating systems from disk to disk. Among the most famous are the companies Acronis and Paragon. Both have specialized tools for easily transferring an installed operating system from one disk to another and without the need to perform ritual dances with a tambourine. However, before the transfer procedure itself, you should think carefully, at least 7 times, and carry out the transfer only once. First, you should make sure that you already have backup copies of your invaluable data. This can be either a regular backup copy created by any means and saved on a device separate from the test computer, or it can be a cloud storage like OneDrive in which you store all your work and private documents. Secondly, due to the fact that SSD disks are usually smaller in volume than HDDs, you need to make sure that the filled volume of the transferred partition on your HDD is less than the capacity of the partition on the SSD. If necessary, you can (and even need to) uninstall unnecessary programs and clean the operating system of “garbage”.

Cleaning the operating system from "garbage"

You can clean your hard drive quite successfully using the built-in Windows cleaning utility. It would also be a good idea to clean up the system files, especially if the operating system has been in use for a long time.

To migrate the operating system, you can choose one of the products from the manufacturers listed above or any others that are trustworthy. Whether to use a pirated version downloaded from the nearest torrent tracker or honestly purchase the program is up to each user to decide for himself (this is especially true for software from Paragon, which has inexpensive products designed exclusively for transferring a system from one disk to another). However, it should be borne in mind that by installing a pirated program, you are not only robbing the manufacturer, but also risk losing your data during the transfer due to not the most current version of the software. Although, losses and other troubles can occur with a newly purchased official program. It is for this reason that I strongly recommend that you still do not forget about backup copies of your data.

Select the "Migration" section

So, to migrate the operating system from a hard drive to an SSD within the same computer, I will use a professional tool from Paragon Hard Disk Manager Pro version 15. Yes, this tool allows not only migration, but also many other functions, for example, hard drive backup. But, in this context, we are only interested in transferring the system.

Select the disk to which the migration will take place (on the left). Select advanced options, especially "UEFI boot entry" if you want to boot completely from the SSD (right).

By going through just three steps of the wizard, the data is transferred from my old HDD to the new SSD. Both drives are connected to the computer at the same time and during the transfer I can continue to work with my applications, although this is not recommended. The transfer is completed completely after the computer is rebooted, when Windows starts from the SSD.

And, as a conclusion. After migration, you will need to reactivate not only Windows, but also Office, since one of the elements to which these products are linked is the hard drive. And yet, after a successful transfer, you still have the old partition on the HDD; it can either be completely deleted or cleared by formatting.

Nowadays, SSD drives have become increasingly commonplace. This article will discuss the main nuances of setting up SSD drives for optimal work with Windows. For those who think that you can just install an SSD and then install Windows 8 on it and there will be no problems, I will give useful tips for productive work.

A little theory in brief. For those who do not know what SSD solid-state drives are, I recommend reading it on Wikipedia. Using an SSD, you can increase the loading and operation speed of programs and systems several times when installing windows on an SSD (as is usually done nowadays).

Why do you need to configure Windows 8 to work on an ssd?

SSD drives have a certain number of information rewrite cycles, after which the drive is no longer detected by the system. The main task is to reduce the number of rewrites as effectively as possible. And Windows really likes to constantly write and overwrite something in the cache and temporary folders.

AHCI SATA mode in Windows 8 and Trim function support

The Trim function is designed specifically for Windows 8 to work with SSD drives. This function marks data blocks on the ssd that are no longer used. These blocks are gradually overwritten, and do not accumulate like on regular hard drives and do not wait for defragmentation.
For the SSD to work properly in Windows 8, the mode is required AHCI SATA.
To check whether AHCI is enabled for the SATA controller, you need to make sure in the device manager that in the IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers section there is a controller called AHCI. If such a controller is available, then the system is operating in AHCI mode.

This operating mode is enabled in the BIOS.

Attention!!! You CANNOT switch the AHCI controller to operating mode on a computer with an operating system installed!!!
Then it simply won't start.

fsutil behavior query DisableDeleteNotify


DisableDeleteNotify = 0 – TRIM command support is enabled
DisableDeleteNotify = 1 – TRIM function is disabled.

You can enable TRIM in Windows 8 using the command:

fsutil behavior set DisableDeleteNotify 0

The Windows operating system is designed to work optimally on almost all types of hardware. Therefore, by default, Windows 8 always runs several functions that are designed mainly for simple hard drives. This is a disk indexing feature and a windows search service. They are designed to speed up work with files, but on an SSD the response speed is high and these functions are of no use.

Disabling disk indexing in Windows 8

This function is needed to constantly monitor the file tree on the disk. During indexing, index files are constantly created, which means extra cycles of rewriting data on the ssd.
To disable the indexing function of an SSD disk, you need to uncheck the “Allow files to have contents indexed in addition to file properties” checkbox in the ssd properties.


In order to open the properties of the ssd disk, in “my computer” right-click on the ssd partition (usually Disk C) and select “properties”.

Disable Windows 8 Search Service

This service creates another tree of files that are on the disk to increase the speed of searching for files. This tree weighs 10% of the total occupied hard drive space. Since the SSD drive is fast, you should disable this feature. In addition, these are unnecessary rewrite cycles due to a saved photo or a new site opened in the browser.
To disable the Windows 8 search function, you must:
- Open “service management” (Control Panel – Administrative Tools – Services or services.msc in the command line).
- Then find “Windows Search” in the list.
- Double click on it.
- Press the Stop button.
- In the “Startup type” item, select “Disabled”.

Disabling the paging file correctly

A paging file is a space reserved by Windows on a disk (in our case, an SSD), which, as it were, replaces RAM when it is insufficient. Typically this is ten percent of the logical disk capacity. The paging file always updates the logs, which means unnecessary cycles of data rewriting.
It is best to use Windows on an SSD with a large amount of RAM (4 GB and above). With large amounts of installed RAM, a paging file is not needed in principle, since the physical memory copes with the operation of the system. In addition, the response of RAM is much faster than that of a hard drive.
To disable the Windows 8 page file you need to:
- in the “my computer” folder open the “system properties” window
- select the “advanced” tab, in the “performance” section, click the “parameters” button
- in the “Performance Settings” window that opens, select the “advanced” tab
- on it, in the “virtual memory” section, click the “change” button
- in the “virtual memory” window that opens, uncheck “automatically detect volume...”
- check the box “without swap file”
At first glance there are a lot of actions, but this is done in a maximum of 2 minutes.

Hibernation function designed to quickly restore system operation after inactivity. That is, Windows 8 falls asleep - goes into hibernation - saves all the contents to the hard drive and turns off the power supply from the RAM. When you exit hibernation, the data is transferred back to RAM. That is, a recording cycle occurs on the SSD drive (in our case).
Exiting hibernation in Windows 8 on an SSD occurs no faster than the operating system is fully launched, so this mode can be safely disabled.
To disable hibernation mode in Windows 8 you need to:
- execute the command

powercfg -h of f

How to disable Prefetch and Superfetch in Windows 8

Prefetch and Superfetch in Windows 8 are components that are designed to speed up the loading of data and applications. These services cache frequently used programs and data, thereby speeding up the launch of these programs. Since an SSD drive is much faster than a regular hard drive, the need for the Prefetch and Superfetch functions in Windows 8 on an SSD is eliminated. By disabling them, we save memory space and get rid of unnecessary rewrite operations on the SSD.
Windows 8 should automatically disable these services when running on the ssd. But often this does not happen. Therefore, you need to check whether they are disabled.
To check and/or disable the Prefetch and Superfetch functions in Windows 8 you need to:
- open the editor with the command regedit.exe
- go to the section

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\PrefetchParameters


- check the key values: EnableSuperfetch=0, EnablePrefetcher=0
- if the values ​​there are not 0, change them to 0 and reboot

Defragmenting an SSD drive in Windows 8

In Windows 8, when using an SSD drive, unlike Windows 7, you do not need to disable defragmentation for the SSD! In Windows 8, the Storage Optimizer (disk maintenance utility) automatically determines the type of drive. If the SSD disk is detected by the program, it is not performed.

Unfortunately, we have very few purchases in America after the significant fall in the ruble exchange rate, so we had to live without an SSD for several months. The system, of course, slows down significantly.

This time, to transfer Windows 8.1 from a hard drive to a solid-state drive, I again decided to use the free EaseUS Todo Backup Free program, this time version 8.3. The procedure was successful, but it took a lot of tinkering.

How to Migrate Windows 8 to SSD Using EaseUS Todo Backup Free
It would be surprising if everything worked after a reboot :) After all, the EFI entry about the Windows location did not appear, since the EaseUS Todo Backup Free application simply cloned the partitions. It is quite possible that if remove the HDD at first startup, then Windows 8 will be able to repair itself. But in my all-in-one PC, removing the hard drive is not such a simple procedure; the BIOS settings do not turn off the hard drive. So we had to look for a solution.

I, of course, rebooted the system, but it naturally continued to boot Windows from the hard drive without offering any other options. When I had an EFI partition on the HDD and transferred all the Windows files on the hard drive to a subfolder in Ubuntu, I received errors when starting Windows. The explanations for the errors recommended that I use the Windows recovery system, but we are not looking for easy ways.

I prepared in advance an environment for restoring Windows 8 on a flash drive. To do this, I typed recoverydrive on the initial screen (although you could find the “Create a recovery disk” item in the Control Panel). The wizard created a recovery environment on a 256 MB flash drive.

After booting from the recovery disk, I went to the command line. Next, the first thing I did was reassign the disks.


  1. Launching the diskpart utility:
    diskpart

  2. Show volumes:
    list volume

  3. Select volume:
    select volume X, where X is the volume number

  4. Assign a letter to that:
    assign letter X, where X is the letter for the volume

To begin with, I assigned an unallocated letter to the Windows partition on the hard drive (for me it was W). Then I assigned the letter C to the Windows partition on the solid-state drive, since it was on the C drive that I previously had Windows 8.1.

You can change drive letters in recovery mode by running the registry editor regedit in the console. A full-fledged registry editor will launch in a separate window. The HKLM\SYSTEM\MountedDevices section contains values ​​like "\DosDevices\C:". First you need to free up the Windows disk. I changed the value "\DosDevices\C:" to "\DosDevices\W:". Next, you can assign the desired partition with Windows 8.1 on the solid-state drive the value “\DosDevices\C:”, where “C” is the drive letter on which Windows 8.1 was located.

regedit is easier to use, but you will need to determine in advance which drives are responsible for what. Otherwise you'll only see names like "\DosDevices\C:" with strange values ​​like "44 4d 49 4f 3a 49 44 3a 51 c4 1d f4 fe 53 1c 46 8e..."

To determine what is on which drive, use the dir command for each drive.

diskpart is more difficult to use, but it indicates the sizes of disk partitions, so you can easily find the two necessary partitions (the old one with Windows 8.1 and the new one with the system clone). Since they are cloned, it is difficult to distinguish them unless modifications are made. I simply wrote an empty ssd.txt file to the root of the Windows 8.1 disk on the solid-state drive (and I did this in Windows 8.1 immediately after cloning the volume). Then from the console using the dir command it is very easy to determine which of the two disks contains the ssd.txt file. The dir command, of course, works in the console, and not in diskpart.

Please note that you can use diskpart, or you can use regedit. If you use diskpart, the changes in regedit will already be visible, so there is no need to repeat them.

When the desired drive with Windows 8.1 has received the letter previously used for the system, you can make changes in EFI. To do this, just enter “bcdboot C:\Windows” in the console, where C is the label of the disk with Windows 8.1.

After this, you can reboot and work calmly. At least Windows 8.1 booted perfectly for me :)

With Windows 8.1 loaded, of course, I assessed the system

Next I checked the operation of TRIM for SSD
fsutil behavior query disabledeletenotify

Next, I disabled SSD defragmentation (relevant for Windows 8, although there is no such problem in Windows 7). To do this, typed dfrgui and clicked on the "Change parameters" button


Next, I moved on to selecting disks by clicking on the “Select” button. And unchecked the disks on the solid state drive

Next, in the scheduler, I added a simple task to run the command “defrag.exe C: -l -h” weekly. Since the Recovery disk does not need optimization, the task is performed only for the Windows partition. If you have a data partition on your solid-state drive, you must also specify it separated by a space.


After installing Windows 8.1, I also installed Ubuntu 15.04. Since before that I had version 14.04 LTS, but there were problems with it, of course I didn’t do any volume cloning. Ubuntu for me has always been easier to install again to avoid errors. Moreover, this can be done very quickly. Some users note that now there is no need to install Ubuntu after Windows 8.1, because... installing Windows 8 after Linux doesn't break anything. But I didn’t check it myself, although it’s easy to reinstall the grub bootloader, including using boot-repair.

When dual booting, there may be an issue with data loss when writing to an NTFS partition from Ubuntu. Therefore, I disabled fast boot in Windows 8. To do this, go to the control panel -> Power Options -> Action of the power buttons. Next, we change the parameters that are currently unavailable, and then disable fast startup.
