Windows 10: Installing Win10 from my HDD to my SSD

So three years ago I bought Windows 10 on an USB and upgraded from Win 7, as you do. Now I made the decsion back then to save Windows onto my HDD as opposed to my SSD. Now I'm trying to reinstall Windows 10 onto my SSD in order to make my machine run a bit smoother, and It's turning out to be a right pain. I can't get into the install options to let me designate where I would like to install the system, so every time I wipe the computer, Win10 automatically reinstalls itself onto the HDD.

It dosen't help that when I attempt to boot up the USB stick containing win10, it won't as it tells me it's corrupt.


Anyone got any solution? I just want Windows 10 from my HDD over to my SSD

Win10 fresh install problem to SSD (no problem with older HDD)

As I wrote already, I was able to make a fresh install on the original HDD that was factory-installed in the HP desktop.

I installed the SSD as second disk.

I deleted all the partitions from the SSD that appeared during the unsuccessful win10 installations.

I installed free disk cloning software (google and you find several ones) and cloned the HDD to SDD.

After removing the HDD my PC is running win10 from the SDD, case closed.

 

Win10 clean install on Samsung SSD 850 EVO

BLUF: SSD is not listed ubder "Where do you want to install Windows?"

Steps Complete:

1. I've create a Win10 bootable install usb.

2. I connect the new Samsung SSD 850 EVO via SATA.

3. I reboot PC and verify SSD is seen by the motherboard/BIOS

4. Begin Win10 install via usb.

5. Get to "Where do you want to install Windows?" and the SSD is not listed

Problems:

1. Samsung does not offer a driver for the 850 on their website

2. Cannot locate driver elsewhere

Unsuccessful Mitigations Steps Attempt:

A. Format & partition SSD via Windows Disk Management, then retried steps 1-5 above....same result

B. Clone existing HHD onto SSD via "Image for Windows" by TeraByte, then verified SSD contents via Windows Explorer....similar result

Can you please offer some advice on locating a driver for a Samsung SSD 850 EVO 1TB drive? Or an alternative method?

Thank you

 

Win10: windows update stuck at never ending loop ?

When in win10:

• Update&security -> Windows update -> Finding update... .... .... ....

Planning to download the latest Win10.ISO (vers.1803) and manually update:
- Then wait that my ordered new SSD arrives and clone the old HDD to it.
