  2. Install Windows 10 on new SSD disk

    What is the procedure to install Windows 10 on new SSD disk? Should I first install it on running old disk with Windows 7 and then install it again on the new SSD installed on the same PC?

    How to add SSD as boot disk on new Dell XPS 8700 with Windows 10?

    Goal: Add a Samsung EVO 500GB 2.5-Inch SATA III Internal SSD and make it the boot disk for a new Dell 8700 running pre-installed Windows 10.

    Questions:


    • Do I have to change the BIOS from IRST to AHCI?

    • Can I transfer the OS from the original C: drive to the SSD via

      EasyUS Todo Backup
      ?

    • Do I need the Windows installation disks?
    Background:

    Using a StarTEC USB 3.0 to 2.5 SATA III Hard Drive adapter cable, I connected the new SSD to the new Dell 8700 via USB. The Dell transfer tools, and Dell Navigator, did not recognize the SSD. I later read a post that said that these Dell tools did
    not yet work with Windows 10. As suggested in another post, I did get the transfer to work using EasyUS Todo. I copied Windows 10 to the SSD. I then installed it internally in one of the empty drive bays. Windows 10 file manager recognized the drive and I
    was able to see that Windows was indeed copied on it.

    But, before I change the Boot Sequence to start with the SSD, I would like to know if the OS transfer will indeed work and\or whether the BIOs needs to be changed from IRST to AHCI (if yes, how).

    Finally, Windows disks, usually orderable from PC manufacturers, are not yet available from Dell. Alternatively, the “create USB recovery disk” goes in an endless loop even though I am trying to create one using a new 32GB San Disk USB drive.

    Any other things I need to do in order to make this SSD boot configuration to work?

    Thanks!

    new disk ssd and new desktop

    stuck after adding SSD to my new Lenovo desktop

    I planned to migrate Windows 10 from my new Lenovo desktop's C: drive with a 1T HDD to a newly-installed SSD. Cloning the OS (and a few other C: files) to the new SSD with EaseUS Todo seemed to go successfully, but I don't know how to complete the process
    - here's why....

    The Lenovo boots successfully when ONLY the HDD drive is disconnected, and the C: drive is the SSD. All installed programs run normally.

    But when I restart with both drives connected, I have a Windows A: drive (SSD) and Windows C: drive, and don't know which I'm booting from. I can't use Disk Manager (or EaseUS Todo) to wipe / reformat the HDD, because it has a boot partition, and neither
    software will let me.

    I don't care what letter drive the SSD is, as long as I can boot from it, and use the HDD however I want, but I can't get there. What do I do now? This can't be a very hard problem to solve, but I am very eager to hear suggestions on how to proceed. Thanks
