PRESS RELEASE
Now with Full Windows 10 Support and at a Limited Offer Price!
FREIBURG, Germany, October 25, 2016 – Paragon Software Group (PSG), the leader in data backup, disaster recovery and data migration solutions, announces Paragon Migrate OS 5.0, a one-step tool to help with Windows systems migration to new storage devices – solid-state drives (SSDs) and hard disk drives (HDDs). Paragon Migrate OS 5.0 instantly performs fast and safe Windows migrations and even downsizes to smaller capacity drives, thanks to advanced data exclusion capabilities. You can transfer a live system with no impact to your work, and have your partitions automatically aligned in the process, if needed. The new release fully supports Windows 10 and comes with an even more intuitive UI providing easy access to the software's step-by-step migration wizard.
According to data analysis by Statista, SSD shipments in the last few years have increased drastically – from 39 million units in 2012 to the estimated 189.6 million in 2017. As PC users seek to take advantage of SSDs’ better access time, read/write speeds, and resistance to physical shock from drops, the challenge becomes moving massive amounts of data, applications and the operating system from the existing hard drive to a smaller SSD. Paragon Migrate OS is a handy tool that transfers any Windows version since XP to any capacity storage disk in a single operation.
Paragon’s intuitive wizard in Migrate OS simplifies the migration process, automatically downsizing the source system volume and providing intelligent selection of specific files when migrating to smaller-capacity drives, and auto-aligning copied system partitions – all without rebooting the system.
New and major features in Paragon Migrate OS 5.0:
- NEW! Support for Windows 10;
- NEW! Windows 10-style GUI;
- The option to build a WinPE bootable media to do migrations or to fix various boot problems without installing the product;
- Migration of 64-bit Windows systems configured to the uEFI-based boot mode directly, under Windows, without any work interruption or having to reboot.
Key product features include:
- Migrates Windows to larger or smaller storage devices in a single operation;
- With WinPE bootable media supports all Windows systems since XP, including Windows 10;
- Migrates 64-bit Windows systems configured to the uEFI-based boot mode;
- Automatically aligns partitions on the destination disk, if necessary;
- Automatically detects and copies Microsoft Reserved Partition (MSR) for successful migrations of Windows 10;
- Allows the user to exclude data during the process in order to fit in to the destination disk;
- Processes locked (in-use) disks with Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) to migrate without rebooting Windows;
- Includes Paragon's time-proven move/resize functionality;
- Guarantees safety for the system and data.
The technology that powers Paragon Migrate OS 5.0 comes from Paragon's Hard Disk Manager, the company's recently upgraded full-function disk management toolkit that also provides optimization of NTFS volumes, Windows migration to dissimilar hardware, backup and recovery, simplified virtualization of an existing system, and more.
