    Clone Boot disk ( Samsung SSD 850 EVO 250 GB) to Samsung 970 EVO PLUS


    I would like to clone my boot drive(Samsung SSD 850 EVO 250) to a new Samsung 970 EVO PLUS NVMe M.2 1TB Hard drive. The SSD 850 is in Legacy in the BIOS under Storage boot option control.

    I want the new M.2 drive to be the new Boot drive.

    My understanding is that I must change the Storage Option Control to UEFI for the M.2 drive.

    Is there a way to do this by a clone and not reinstall Windows 10?

    Thank you in advance

    :)

  2. Cloning problems with Samsung SSD 850 EVO

    Unable to clone a Samsung SSD 850 EVO on a newly upgraded Win10 machine. Samsung's cloning app does not see the drive, though Samsung's Magician software does (albeit grayed out).

    Formatted and mounted the drive in MS Disk Management; drive appears as E.

    (Already successfully cloned and installed an 850 on a different machine using Win8.1; then successfully upgraded to Win10, so I know what success looks like.)

    TIA,

    Sam

    Win10 clean install on Samsung SSD 850 EVO

    BLUF: SSD is not listed ubder "Where do you want to install Windows?"

    Steps Complete:

    1. I've create a Win10 bootable install usb.

    2. I connect the new Samsung SSD 850 EVO via SATA.

    3. I reboot PC and verify SSD is seen by the motherboard/BIOS

    4. Begin Win10 install via usb.

    5. Get to "Where do you want to install Windows?" and the SSD is not listed

    Problems:

    1. Samsung does not offer a driver for the 850 on their website

    2. Cannot locate driver elsewhere

    Unsuccessful Mitigations Steps Attempt:

    A. Format & partition SSD via Windows Disk Management, then retried steps 1-5 above....same result

    B. Clone existing HHD onto SSD via "Image for Windows" by TeraByte, then verified SSD contents via Windows Explorer....similar result

    Can you please offer some advice on locating a driver for a Samsung SSD 850 EVO 1TB drive? Or an alternative method?

    Thank you

  4. Clone Boot disk ( Samsung SSD 850 EVO 250 GB) to Samsung 970 EVO PLUS

    Suggestions to install samsung 970 evo plus ssd and set as primary boot device on Alienware 15 R2

    Hi All,

    I'm trying to upgrade my Alienware 15 R2 with m.2 Samsung 970 Evo plus. For that after physically installing in M.2 slot I've used Samsung migration tool to clone data.

    I'm not able to set ssd as primary boot device and use hdd for data as I'm unfamiliar with set up and not able to install Samsung nvme drivers as in process system pops up " Samsung NVM Express Device is not connected. Connect the device and try again."
    But the system is properly working on SSD by Physically disconnecting HDD.

    Can anyone please help me with the proper installation and setup procedure of m.2 Samsung 970 Evo plus on Alienware 15 R2 and set it as primary boot device and use HDD for storage.
