  1. Laptop wont boot after migrating os form HDD to SSD


    I want to upgrade to windows 10 in 2 stages . 1) Migrate Windows 7 OS and Programs from HDD to SSD
    2) Upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10

    After migrating the OS ( Windows 7 ) and Programs from HDD to SSD using Minitool Partition wizard , the computer wont boot after I replaced the HDD. I get a start up screen with "J_ " I checked the boot order and it does boot from internal HDD first . There is no SSD designation in the Bios

    BTW I see a small unallocated space in the SSD before the system partition and C drive can this be the problem ?

    How to check whether the Bios even recognises the SSD?
    Do I have to rename the SSD drive to C ?
    Computer is booting fine after I reinstalled the HDD.

    new laptop: Is it possible to migrate OS from SSD to HDD (yes to HDD)


    Hi,
    I recently bought an MSI GL62 6QF laptop and unfortunately although it is an excellent laptop it has some limitation that might urge me to return it

    system:
    128 GB SSD in M.2 PCI-e (Windows pre-installed here)
    1 TB HDD


    If you could help me I would like to know the following:
    - since I have to use Full Disk Encryption (TrueCrypt/VeraCrypt which require MBR) for my needs is there any way to migrate the OS to the hdd and not use the SSD at all?
    - what I want do in order to use the laptop is to
    1. use MBR and not GPT for the hdd
    2. migrate Win10 to hdd
    If the migration makes an exact copy maybe I'll have to

    1. do the migrate first
    2. convert GPT to MBR in hdd second


    I understand this may be an unusual request for help but I really like the build quality of this laptop and would like to keep it instead of returning it.

    What I am thinking so far is:

    - set BIOS to legacy boot and turn safe boot off.
    - Use Minitool Partition Wizard to convert hdd to MBR from GPT
    - Use Minitool Partition Wizard with the Migrate OS option from SSD to HDD

    Unfortunately hdd has some hidden partition BIOS_RVY which I guess will be lost

    Is there any reason that the BIOS might not see the HDD as a boot device? (right now it is not listed, I thought that it is because it has no OS but that seems strange..)

    Any other ideas? (or other tool to do all this..)

  3. Migration from Hdd to m2.SSD

    Recently I have purchased a new laptop (hp probook 450 G4) and a new original windows 10 home edition and now I want to upgrade my 1 TB Hdd to a new m2 ssd and my laptop supports another slot for the m2 ssd so I can run both
    the m2 ssd & hdd at the same time but I will make the m2 ssd the boot drive and the hdd will be the data drive.
    MY Question is how can I migrate system drive to the new m2 ssd without the need to reinstall windows or any other installed programs and there is another thing, when I checked the disk management I found 3 recovery partitions will I have to
    migrate them too or I have to migrate the system drive only

    OS migration to ssd

    I want to migrate my OS to my new ssd, but with the softwares I've downloaded can only move the whole C: drive, but my ssd only has 223gb of storage and I've got in my HDD 500gb of stored stuff. To solve this I made a partition to move all the files that
    weren't files of the OS. When I tried to do this I couldn't move such files. Is there a way to move all my files from the C: drive to the partition or to manually move my OS to the ssd?
