I have tried system image restore to new disk. I have tried full back up and restore to new disk. I have swapped the SSD's physical location. I have tried installing windows on new SSD (refuses to install on it). Doesn't seem to matter what I do, it refuses to behave itsself. Old ssd is Samsung 970 Evo Plus 500GB New is Samsung 980 Pro 1 TB. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Is it setup for secure boot. I assume it's windows 10 your trying to put on it Edited March 4, 2022 by jointz Blaze 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

I did this a few years ago. @KaptCrunch clued me into the software. SDM Samsung Data Management I’m not that smart I just followed the prompts in the software and it was flawless. Once I had it cloned he old system kept booting up on the old disk. I simply unplugged that original SSD. I know I should have just changed the location r the priority of the new disk to be the boot up but I just left it with the old ssd unplugged Edited March 4, 2022 by WeednFeed Blaze 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I will wait until my refund comes through and maybe go for a slightly larger 2tb evo plus (which is the same spec as my existing, just larger). It won't have the same wowzer speed as the pro, but its double the size for an extra £40!! Thanks for the suggestions.

If possible. I know, and that's why I originally went for the pro, but tbh everything else is much slower so it's throttled and never achieves the top speeds. The evolution plus I have is more than fast enough, I just need more space. jointz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

That way whatever software I was using would automatically make it the correct format. Windows installation tool requires it to be that and formats and creates the partitions before installing. It just wasn't cooperating at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

I was using Novabackup at boot to clone the disk. It might be an idea next time, but I think it would still have failed. Samsung won't get very far by forcing people to use proprietary software to use their hardware. WeednFeed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Drive letter gets assigne automatically when you clone, or when you run a restore from a full back up. Also I was remembering to select it as the boot device in Bios, It just wasn't booting or accepting a windows installation. It accepted data quit happily, it just didn't want to behave like a grown up drive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
