    Upgrading to SSD. Cloned the disk now need to know what to do next

    by k9kiloalpha · about 5 years ago

    Tags: 

    I cloned my HDD to SSD through SATA to USB adapter. I only have one slot and when I look at the disk management tool it shows all the partitions were cloNed. The OS partition in the new drive just shows it’s a partition and I’m trying to figure out how to make the new disk with C:\ and make it the boot partition.

    Since I have one slot I’d like to know what to do now. It’s windows 10 so the bios settings isn’t like what I’m used to. It’s a HP ENVY 23 all in one.

      Clone method matters.

      If you cloned the drive correctly, there should be nothing you need to do except boot up your machine and maybe run a chkdsk /f

      How did you clone your HDD to SSD? I upgrade HDDs to SSDs dozens of times per week using Clonezilla. It’s free, easy to use, and I have never had an issue.
