    How to move the whole Windows from one internal disk to another?


    I just bought a Lenovo ThinkPad E585 laptop with Windows 10 Pro preinstalled on the internal NVMe SSD (256 GB).

    I added a new SATA3 SSD (512 GB), and I need to move the whole Windows OS to this drive.

    I have the original Windows license key.


    How can I do it?

    - Should I make a physical copy of the whole OS to the new disk? (Already tried, but I cannot boot from it)

    - Should I download a free new copy of Windows 10 Pro from Microsoft, and install it using my original license key?

    - Any other option?


    Thank you.

    :)

  2. Disk Management

    Hi Keith,

    Thanks for providing the detail that was requested previously. Since the disk management screen that you saw is showing greyed out options, we suggest that you follow the steps below to change the partition type of your internal drive:

    • Open Disk Management then right click the partition on the disk you want to covert and select Delete Volume.
    • Once you complete the process you will see the whole disk shown as two separate unallocated spaces. Right-click the disk and select Convert to GPT disk.

    After the conversion, you will be able to use the whole disk and then you can create new separate partitions.

    We look forward to your response to our queries.

  4. How to move the whole Windows from one internal disk to another?

    Disk management console view is not up-to-date

    i dont know how to fix your disk management, but i can fix your partition problems...




    open up Command Prompt with admin rights. (Right click, run as admin)


    enter in
    DISKPART
    list disk

    then find the Disk number for your Raid array... lets call it number 7 ( you can tell what disk is what by the total size)
    type in

    Select Disk 7
    List Partition (will give you a list of all the partitions..)
    Select Partition 1 (im assuming you only have 1 partition on Disk 7) repeat this step if you have more partitions.
    ASSIGN


    that should get the array up and running ready to use.


    EDITED.

    any problems, post back ^^


    Still EDITING *Stick Out Tongue How to move the whole Windows from one internal disk to another? :p

    side question, have you tried restarting the PC?
