    Cloned Win11 to new SSD with Samsung software, but original HDD still showing as main...


    Hey all,I've installed a new M.2 Samsung SSD drive and cloned my old HDD drive using the Samsung Migration software. Everything seems okay with the new drive, it's booting up nice and quick, but when I view my drives, my old HDD is still showing as the main Windows drive with the little icon in the corner and when I try and format it I get the message "You cannot format this volume. It contains the version of Windows you are using."How do I get my new drive to be the actual recognised Windows drive so I can format the old HDD?

    :)

    Clone Bitlocker enable drive to SSD

    Hello, I received a new Samsung 860 EVO SSD and want to clone my current HDD to my new SSD. There's one small problem. My laptop came pre-enabled with Device Encryption also know as Bitlocker. It originally came with Windows 10 Home but I upgraded it
    to pro so i have all options available. I was about to clone it when Macrium reflect said that bitlocker would be disabled on the new drive and that i would have to reenable it. How can i clone the HDD to my new SSD and keep bitlocker enabled without bitlocker
    flipping out?
