    Having windows on 2 SSDs on the same laptop


    I have a SSD and a HDD on my laptop. My SSD is my boot drive. It began to fail. I used the program crystaldiskinfo and found it had 30% life left. It took forever to load and was often crashing to desktop. I bought a new SSD and installed it to my laptop. It would not boot up so I went online and made a windows 10 USB drive. I was able to boot from this USB and install windows on the new SSD and now I can boot up again. My questions are is this going to cause an issue having windows on 2 drives on the same laptop. I wanted to try and clone my old SSD to my new SSD so I would not lose any data but it won't allow me to and keeps throwing an error when I try with mini tool. I would like to transfer my old SSD to the new one and then remove it. Any guidance on how to proceed would be apprecaited.

    :)

    I have found something about CPU Upgrade on the Intel's Website, the manufacturer of my laptop's chipset (GM45 Chipset). Currently, the CPU which this laptop is using (Dual Core T3400) is NOT in this list: http://ark.intel.com/chipset.aspx?familyID=35509
    The laptop's chipset also support Core 2 Extreme Technology, which I think the latest CPU Technology.
    I have another laptop called Acer Aspire 5572ANWXMi that is using the chipset 945GM which support the T7600 (like you suggested) and it is in this list: http://ark.intel.com/chipset.aspx?familyID=22816

    Having windows on 2 SSDs on the same laptop

    Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.

    Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

    Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Having windows on 2 SSDs on the same laptop :) Best regards.


    And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.
