Windows 10: Moving Windows to a bigger SSD

Hello. Ive noticed the main application I use Reason 10 on my PC wont function properly unless its on my C: drive.

My PC is store bought and has a 60GB SSD soldered onto the motherboard which leaves about 10gb~ after windows installed. I've recently bought a 1tb SSD to replace it. that way the all the features and instruments packed with reason can be stored properly on the C: drive.


What I've done so far is use a software called macrium reflect to clone the drive watched a youtube tutorial to help. restarted my pc whilst getting to boot menu up and starting from my new drive.

Now the file explorer has decided the new drive is only 54gbs in size. The disk management says the rest of it is there as a partition but I dont know how to access it.


Any ideas?


Also is there a way to make it the primary drive? e.g. the drive all applications will want to install to. I understand I might need specific application help from the developer

Bull fucking shit.

 

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.

 

SSD Crucial Bx 100 - rattling/vibrating. Possible?

This has been suggested several times already, and it has been suggested you try to move the SSD, remove it, or even suspend it in your case. Will you please try one of these?

If you don't understand vibration and resonance, please refer to @dorsetknob 's post above. *Smile It has been explained that something else moving/vibrating (even if you don't think they're vibrating they are...), fans, hard disk drives, and anything with a motor will cause some form of vibration at certain frequencies. This can be transfered through your case's chassis and where you mounted your SSD could be reaching a certain frequency that causes it to slightly move and rattle against the case.

We are suggesting you take action and report back..you keep asking questions from step 1...we should be on step 4 by now...that is solution.

Try what has been suggested and report back please. Otherwise all you're doing is leading this thread in an endless circle and the help will stop shortly thereafter.
