Windows 10: Mystery G: Drive after upgrading SSD!

Hi,After much tribulation, I was able to finally clone my OS over to a bigger, faster SSD.Now, after messing around with Computer Management and Disk Management apps, I've somehow ended up with an additional "G:" drive.It shows up in File Explorer, but NOT in Disk Management. I assumed it was an unseen partition of the C: drive, but I'm not certain, as the sizes are slightly different from any of the partitions listed in Disk Management. When I double click on the new G: drive in File Explorer, I get a "You don't currently have permission to access this folder." error message. If I then click

Upgrading HP SSD drive on HP 750-524

I purchased an HP Envy tower with a 128Gb SSD which is where Windows is installed, I have purchased a new 1TB SSD drive that I would like to replace the 128 GB drive with. My machine did not come with the Windows 10 Media, what steps do I need to take before
I install the new drive and install windows.

• Where do I get the Windows 10 install
• What steps are needed to create an Install disk
• Do I have to deactivate my old install before removing the old drive.

Please let me know if there are any other considerations.

Best Regards,

Wes

 

Upgrading laptop hard drive to ssd

I'm upgrading my old Asus Q200e laptop's hard drive to a PNY SSD Page Not Found | pny.com , following this tutorial. (As an aside, I recently upgraded to Windows 10 from Windows 8.1 due to a slight slowdown in boot times.) Aside from using different products than the ones listed in the tutorial, I've followed every step to the letter.

However, when I swapped out the HDD with the SSD, the computer does not recognize the new SSD as the boot drive. Instead, upon turning on the machine, the system goes into a strange BIOS-esque utility called "Aptio Setup Utility" that doesn't list the SSD at all. It does, however, list the boot manager from the old HDD I have plugged into a hard drive USB enclosure. I've tried looking up the answer online to no avail.

Any help at all would be appreciated.
