    Moving Win10 from one SSD to another


    Hi,

    I bought a new SSD and want to move my system to that disk.
    There is a total of 3 disks in the system:
    0 - which is a HDD and it looks like I'm booting from that
    1 - the old SSD
    2- the new SSD

    Goal is to only boot from 2 and remove 1. 0 can stay.

    I cloned 1 to 2 with Macrium Reflect but that was (obviously) not enough, it doesn't boot. Unfortunately ends my knowledge about how Windows boots here. Most things I could google pointed to a new installation or MBR disks (all disks are GPT).

    I have no problems with the terminal or reading docs. I just couldn't find any for my situation.

    Here is what it looks like (sorry for the German - I hope it looks familiar enough):

    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.
