Windows 10: SSD COMPATIBILITY ON SONY VAIO SVE1513ACNB 2013

I wish to replace the Hitachi HTS545050A7E380 to a Samsung Evo 870 SSD. I asked on Sony VAIO support , but they said it's not recommended to make changes to storage as their operations have shut down in India. They didn't specify technical reason. Still I wish to replace the HDD as it has aged almost 10 years. Also according to crystaldisk , it has 100 bad sectors.I am not sure if any SSD would be compatible with my machine , in terms of power and also in terms that it may damage the motherboard. Pls let me know the compatible SSDs.Motherboard specsCrystal Disk Scroll to bottom

USB 2.0 compatability on Sony Vaio


My computer info



Device Manager



Great. I just spent 1/2 hour composing a message and kept seeing "Auto Saved" keep popping up, but my hand slipped, don't know what I did, but was left with the 2 pics above, lost everything I had typed, and don't see how to bring back what was auto saved, so going with short version of issue:

• I have 3-USB ports, inside colored blue, 1 HDMI, and 1 SD card reader
  • Are all 3 USB ports 3.0?
  • Is that confirmed by the blue coloring?
  • How can I tell in Device Manager?
• Does USB 3.0 back-read 2.0?
  • Seems logical that it would, but I have a device (webcam) that, when plugged in, is sometimes recognized, but the camera app cannot run it, that it needs additional permissions but won't let me give them (yes, logged in as admin). Have tried to update drivers (says all current), FixIt, re-boot, etc. Nothing works. Sometimes it is not recognized at all.
  • Is this a typical MS money grab to force new purchases/upgrades?

Your help is much appreciated.

 

Sony Vaio Will Not Boot From Cloned SSD

I have cloned the 500 Mbt HD of a Sony Vaio to a 256 Gbt SSD using Aomei backuper and it will not boot.

The error is: Your PC needs to be repaired, Error 0xc0000225

The old HD boots fine so obviously the the ssd isn't an exact clone. Sony do make a complicated HD with 7 partitions which might have something to do with it. The bios recognises the ssd.

I have tried booting form a Win10 usb and startup repair can't fix it.

I am wondering if I would be better off with a fresh Win 10 installation, although I will lose the original Sony configuration and drivers.

Another possibility is to find a better way to copy the original HD to the SSD.

Or there may be a way to repair the Win 10 installation on the ssd.

Your advice would be appreciated.

I have attached a screenshot of the error and the Diskpart list of partitions on the ssd that will not boot

Kind regards
Chris
