I'd be happy to help you troubleshoot. Given the significant size difference between your old 2TB drive and the new 128GB SSD, it's not surprising that the transfer process is taking a while.

Also, have you checked the disk usage and CPU usage during the transfer process to see if there are any bottlenecks?
When encountering the Paragon Migrate OS to SSD stuck issue, it may be caused by various reasons, including hardware issues, software conflicts, or incorrect settings. To resolve the issue, users can try troubleshooting steps such as checking for BIOS updates, verifying the SSD's compatibility, and ensuring the correct installation of the Paragon software.
