    Problems after transferring C: OS SSD Drive to new SSD


    I bought a new Samsung 860 pro 256gb. ssd to transfer everything from my main/OS drive to it since the drive is pretty old and, I've already had one drive just like it go bad and it was actually a little newer. First off, I just put the new drive in my Kingston docking bay and plugged in to the usb. The Samsung migration program when I clicked on start said not allocated but, went on transferring everything to the new drive. When I go into bios, it doesn't show the new drive as a booting option. I think it's booting on the over ride function. I then made another backup image to Macrium 7 Home and it said successful. The problem I'm getting, is when I choose the option to create a rescue disc I get an error about missing drivers but, allows me to continue with the rescue disc. I did nothing to the new disk but put it in the docking bay as it came. Could the fact that the migration software when I first started said it was unallocated, be where my problem is? and what should I do? Here's Rescue disc error.

    Moving OS C drive to another SSD?

    I currently have a 120GB SSD on my laptop as my OS C drive. I'm considering to install a new, larger SSD, but my Windows installation will be gone with the old SSD. So is there any way to move my Windows to a new drive?

  3. Transfer my OS to SSD?

    I have an old 1tb HHD so I decided to transfer OS and a browser to a new SSD drive. But I cannot do it without making partition. Now I have only **** C without any partitions and can transfer all information from this ****. How can I make a partition
    and place only my OS there so that I would be able to transfer only my OS?

    Transferring a SSD With OS on to a new PC

    Hello, pretty soon I will be building a new computer with completely different hardware. Is there a process I have to do in order to transfer my SSD with my current OS (Windows 10) on to the new PC? Or can i just plug my SSD in and it will recognize all
    the new hardware?
