Windows 10: 0xc000000f error after replacing HDD to SSD

I replaced the hard drive of my old laptop for a SSD, I clone the drive according to the SDD instructions, but after installing the new one I'm getting this error and can't boot the system again. What I should do.

:)

 

OS on new SSD, keep existing data on HDD and use as external drive

Hi,

use steps you suggested, there should be no problem.

Just replace HDD with SSD first then run installation. Do not forget to remove Windows files from HDD after the end of a process.

 

Cannot boot HP laptop Error Code 0xc000000f

Got into the HP tests and tried the HDD test. It failed immediately




I've also tried recovering Windows from a recovery ISO, goes for quite a while then fails with no specific error.

To me it's evident that the HDD is sufficiently bad as to not be worth any more time in trying to fix.

There seems just 3 options.

1. I try to replace the HDD
2. Get a local PC shop to replace the HDD
3. Get a new laptop

The first two cases may present a problem in reinstalling a valid copy of Windows 10 Home, would a replacement drive invalidate the already licences system?

All cases will involve getting new applications.
Ah well. I shall break the news to her over the weekend.

 

Upgraded Windows Transfer from HDD to SSD

Hi

My windows was upgraded from 8 to 10 on my laptop few years back. I was trying to get the HDD replaced with SSD. During the copy process, the technician said windows cannot be moved to SSD as it is an upgraded version from 8 to 10.

Kindly guide if there is a possibility to copy the windows to SSD ? If so, please suggest the steps.
