    Updating to 1809, Win10 think I'm installing on a USB not SSD. Tried recommended fixes,...


    Trying to use Windows Assistant to upgrade from 1803 to 1809. Assistant says I'm trying to install to a USB, when I have an SSD. Figuring I wasn't the only one, I did some searching, found the recommendations to set the boot partition to active in Disk Management. That didn't work. Then I went to look at the PortableOperatingSystem setting in RedEdit. Found I don't have a setting for that. Did a full search of the registry. Nothing.


    I could list my dated yet perfectly functional, system specs, but this is clearly a software issue. How do I fix it?

    :)

    Win10: windows update stuck at never ending loop ?

    When in win10:
    • Update&security -> Windows update -> Finding update... .... .... ....
    Planning to download the latest Win10.ISO (vers.1803) and manually update:
    - Then wait that my ordered new SSD arrives and clone the old HDD to it.

    Migrating Win10 to NVMe SSD

    I am going to migrate my Win10 to my NVMe SSD. Installation wise there should be no problem. However I cannot seem to be able to erase the old Windows 10 on the SATA SSD. If I boot from USB Win10 Installation media it only ask me whether I want to repair the SATA SSD Win10 or not. Any ideas on how to complete erase the SSD that currently have Win10 on it? I tried sanitize drive and PSID revert in Win10, neither would work. The SATA SSD is Crucial MX200.
