    Im not that computer savvy. So I recently bought a Samsung 860 Evo SSD 1tb and I needed it to be cloned. So I took it to a store that does cloning because I didn’t want to mess anything up. Everything else works fine but native windows 10 apps do not work. Also I tried to see if I can update but it says error. I checked the activation but everything says it’s fine. Examples of apps I checked not working. Windows store, Xbox app and Settings. Is it an activation thing? Please help. Thank you.

    Moving to SSD. Clone or not to clone?

    I kinda agree with you, but on a wholr, do not. While I have done things a bit differently than this specific situation, by installing Windows directly to the SSD, and cloning after, my testing shows that there are no issues doing this, very little that can go wrong, provided your system is stable.

    There are certain features that must be disabled in this situation, like auto defrag and such, but even with a fresh install to the SSD, you need to take steps to ensure that you SSD performs properly, regardless of how the data got there.

    Arming yourself with a bit of knowledge can go a long way.

    Installing the latest chipset driver, and the RST Tools, will ensure optimal performance of the SSD. but rather than taking my advice, I suggest the OP takes a look here:

    Keep in mind, also, Digibucc, that many retail drives include software and such that very specifically is to be used to ttranser the OS from an existing mechanical drive to an SSD, and if there really was alot fo issues stemming from the cloning process, they would not have packages like that, simply to eliminate tech support costs. While not the optimal option, cloning is NOT a bad thing, as long as you take the nessecary steps.

    Moving to SSD. Clone or not to clone?

    Part of how I keep my SSD fast is to clone it to a platter drive, then clone back. You just want to make sure that you are only cloning teh used space, and not the empty space.


    So, again, I isntall Windows to the ssd. Clone to platter drive, then clone back.

    I am not sure why, but if I do not do the clone step, the drive's speed, and windows booting, decreases substantially within a week or so.

    I am using a Corsair F60 SSD and a Western Digital 500AAKS as drives, and using the free version of Acronis that WD provides, if any of that matters. I am not sure, at this point.

    0xc000000e windows 10 cloned on ssd

    Hi all,

    I've bought a lenovo y520-15IKBN, I want to clone the windows 10 system I had on my previous PC (dell vostro 1520) on my new ssd.

    i switched SATA controler mode to AHCI because i couldn't see my ssd on lenovo PC.

    I made a clone using Aomei backupper pro of my dell.

    I installed it on my hdd using aomei.

    booted on my hdd partition, cloned the hdd system on my ssd.

    I now get 0xc000000e error on each booting on hdd and ssd.

    and bootrec /rebuildbcd doesn't make it !

    HELP ME PLEASE !! this is driving me MAD !
