    Move OS to new internal SSD


    Hello, I bought a new internal SSD that I installed on my motherboard. I initiated it from Disk Management. Since the new SSD is way better more speed and more space, I want to migrate my OS to the new one without any third-party tool unless it's free. Can someone help me? Thanks in advance!

  3. Installing new OS on new SSD.

    I have Windows 10 on a separate SSD that has failed. I’d like to simply install a new SSD, and also the most up-to-date Windows OS. Since the current OS is on a failing, non-bootable drive, how do I install a new OS on a clean drive? I am not aware of any bootable OS’s on any other drives, or images, or anything I “think” I can boot from. (The other drives are storage.) I’m anticipating starting with a fresh SSD, and the ability to install an OS on it, either from CD/DVD, or internet download. Thanks so much for your help!

    Move OS to new internal SSD

    Again... Win10pro Won't Allow Ownership Change On Internal SATA SSD...

    Image already added
    I tried out the "clean boot' methodology (as I understood the linked instructions)... first on my same hardware config (without disconnecting everything as you suggested). Immediately I had a problem with signing back into the rebooted OS... the front pretty
    screen came up (with the date and time in the lower left corner), but no (center screen) password prompt. I tried rebooting a few times to see if there might be some other option to get to the password prompt, but no success. Eventually I walked away from
    the machine to get a bite to eat in another room. When I came back about a half hour later, the password prompt was waiting for me... I entered my correct password and got in. Once in, I confirmed that little if anything had loaded up in the background...
    only a few MS exe's seemed to be running. I opened the standard MS File Manager... and got the same permissions error attempting to do a folder listing on the internal SATAIII attached SSD.

    I'll next try to follow your directions by repeating the Clean Boot, while also disconnecting all the drives. I'm a little confused by your instructions to disconnect all of my external usb drives as I'm not having any detectable troubles with any of these...
    they all appear to be working fine. Also, I think that this problematic internal SSD also behaves OK when connected via the external usb channels - I need to confirm this. I've also tested a standard HDD (that connects OK via the external usb channels)
    on the internal SATAIII port (to test the port and it's wires/plug), and it worked fine. So as best I can tell at this time, I'm only seeing this problem with this one SSD attempting to use it via the internal SATAIII motherboard plug.

    I can't practically "plug" this SSD into the internal SATAIII port while the OS or machine is running... this must be done in a quiescent state between boots... (it's a big hassle opening the rear of this "business grade" notebook... requiring removal of
    nine small but long torx screws... the process takes 10-15 minutes). All while in the same "clean boot" config (with all external usb devices disconnected) I'll boot up with the SSD removed from the internal SATAIII port... shutdown, reconnect the SSD to
    the internal SATAIII port... reboot and see if there is any change.

    Does this step-by-step meet your proposed test/resolution? If not, please further clarify your proposal for me.

    Thank you!
