OK, true test of PHDM 16 - migration from notebook's current SLOW HDD (500 G), to FASTER SSD (256 g)

I selected the MIGRATE operation. Selected the HDD as source (full drive), slected the SSD as destination (smaller size), full drive (it had some stuff on it)
Paragon indicated that the SSD would get wiped clean, but that it had adequate space for operation.
Confirmed for it to start
PHDM 16 cloned the whole HDD, to the SSD, resized the Windows partition to put thhe current files into a smaller space, preserved the other partitions essential for windows 10 and for the computer,
I then shut down the machine, took out the old HDD, put in the New SSD, turned it on, and WOW, booted up like a charm, Paragon did all teh work behind the scenes to make sure it booted, and i'm back up and running !

NOTE - there IS an EXCLUDE option, in the MIGRATE system, to exclude some files/folders, I did not deselect any, but that option is there, so hopefully this will get back into the options for IMAGE backup !
