Migrating Windows 10 from m.2 sata to new pcie nvme ssd

Hello all,

I'm going to upgrade my current m.2 sata 128gb to a m.2 pcie nvme 480gb and have questions about migrating Windows over. From my understanding since i have a laptop and cant connect both drives at the same time and pcie nvme isnt supported externally I was
going to try and create a restore disk of my current drive and then image it to my new drive. Will this work?

Again my process will be, create rescue disk and image to usb, power down and swap drives, enable usb boot to my usb and power on, run the rescue disk and image to my new pcie nvme ssd.

Does anyone see problems with this? Do I need a large usb or will 32gb work for a 128gb ssd?

Then, other users / Experts have to go to their keyboards for giving better suggestions than mine...

And it's good to have another computer, when the new one won't work...

And an SSD-drive don't say anything, because it don't have any moving parts...


From the tech spesifications:

• SSD, SATA M.2: 128GB / 192GB / 256GB OPAL 2.0 / 512GB
• SSD, PCIe-NVMe Gen3x4 M.2: 512GB3

If it's long time ago, you have had the old laptop turned on, then perhaps, it's downloading and installing updates, and that's because it's slow?

 

Hi,

If you have or have access to another Win 10 machine then you can remove the drive and hook it up to that machine.
Delete the windows partition from there and create and format a small Fat32 partition in the empty space, 150 Mb is plenty.
Assign a drive letter to the new partition.
Set it to active.

Now run the following command line from an admin prompt:

bcdboot C:\Windows /s S: where S: is the drive letter assigned to the new partition.

Or bcdboot C:\Windows /s S: /f UEFI if you want it UEFI only.

If you'd like the disk to be bootable on both bios and EFI machines then the following command line will take care of that:

bcdboot C:\Windows /s S: /f ALL again S: being the assigned drive letter.

If you don't have access to another machine then all of this can be done from a W10 rescue or PE disk/stick as well.

You mean it doesn't show up among the boot options, correct ?

Have you tried installing W10 on the M2 drive without the other drive present ?

Will try the last suggestion. Yeah doesn't show up in the bisos/uefi screen so I can't boot from the new m.2 ssd. Win setup identifies all drives. Makes me think that I'll need the win boot manager on the old drive

 

Do I run the bcdboot command on the old disk aan delete the Windows partition on the old disk

 

From the specs of your Motherboard at Asus

Z97-A | Motherboards | ASUS USA


You are going to have to enable it in BIOS and probably disable the PCIeX1_1 and 2 slots. I suspect there is an option in BIOS for boot from PCIe.

 

Yup. M.2 is enabled in the bios. It's a plextor card listed on Asus website. No informationabout booting

 

On page 2.42 in your Manual under Advanced Configuration > On board Devices, make sure it is set as this states

 

have you tried rebooting after the PCIe card is installed? This is the product downloads for what I think you are using Plextor SSD Storage Solutions | Support | Downloads I would make sure you have the latest firmware.
Other than those things, I have few ideas. maybe reading the reviews of your product on Newegg would help . This is what I think you have http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820249043

 

Yup, set to M.2

 

Card is M.2 SSD.

Plextor PX-G256M6eA

 

Hi,

Given the chipset and MB you should be able to boot from the M2 SSD.
If you use or have a Macrium Reflect rescue disk boot from it and from the menu select fix boot.
Reboot and it should run Windows.
But first of all make sure your bios settings are set to Asus' recommendations otherwise it will never work.

Cheers, *Wink

 

This is the set up at the moment. From a dual boot I can boot into the Build on the new M.2 SSD

What I want to do is regain the space from the old drive, the one with three partitions.
