    Allocation of new SSD and removal of old after cloning.....


    OMG I did it - I turned the lappy off, removed the old SSD, rebooted and as the new SSD was at the top it booted fine and turned the new SSD to C: *Smile *Smile !!! Now I have all the space I need on the new SSD - what I'll do now I think is re-insert the old SSD, format it then I'll have some extra space or just sell it !!!

    I did get a little DLL error when I opened Chrome but everything else works just fine so I'll see how I go. I guess the easier way would have been a brand new fresh install of Windows but I hate doing that lol

    Thanks so much for all the help *Smile

    I keep an USB to SATA/PATA adapter to connect disks without having to shut computer down, other people disks as well as my own backup HDDs. Very handy thingy.
