Windows 10: HD clone.

So recently i have bought a new Samsung Evo 860 because i wanted to remove the spinning old HD from my laptop, my old HD had only games so i didn't clone the stuff from HD to new SSD. My question is it fine to just reinstall the games i want or do i need to do somthing before i remove my old HD? i still see old files with name D:\ (old HD) and i can't open the files i get error messages can't find path.

Cloning HD

Trying to clone HD using Acronis True Image 2015.

When in the process, requires restart. Restart doesn't finish cloning process, rather it abandons it.

So, my understanding is that I need to turn secure boot off.

My BIOS is in legacy mode, and this does NOT provide the option anywhere to turn secure boot off.

Is there an other way?

Do I have to use UEFI?

I need step by step info, I am a novice at this.

Computer info:

Dell Inspiron N5010

Windows 10 Home, 2016

8 GB RAM

Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU

 

Cloning HD

I don't know about Acronis, but I use the Free version of
AOMEI Partition Assistant to clone Drives and have never had any trouble . . .

Access to cloned HD

Hi Dave,

I used Macrium Reflect (MR) to clone the SSD. It is quite possible the cloning operation did not succeed in creating a bootable drive. I have used it successfully in the past for several clones. How can I determine

• if the boot instructions came over with the clone?
• or should I try cloning the drive again?

This computer is a Dell refurbed workstation and I am uncertain if it was set up in a RAID configuration although it came with only 1 rotating hard drive.
