  1. Windows 10 Activation 0xC0EA000A errors after cloning SSD for New PC build


    I just built a new PC, upgraded my old boot SSD to a new one, but also complete new motherboard, so I realize activation issues occur. Since then I have tried every activation step I could find- I still get error code: 0xC0EA000A in the Windows Activation area- I get errors trying to purchase a new code from the store- and Troubleshoot doesn't come up with my device, although this current device is visible on my Microsoft account I tried removing the old device as well- I have a RETAIL key and that really isn't working I believe I updated from an old physical windows 7 copyI have basicall

    Moving to SSD. Clone or not to clone?

    I kinda agree with you, but on a wholr, do not. While I have done things a bit differently than this specific situation, by installing Windows directly to the SSD, and cloning after, my testing shows that there are no issues doing this, very little that can go wrong, provided your system is stable.

    There are certain features that must be disabled in this situation, like auto defrag and such, but even with a fresh install to the SSD, you need to take steps to ensure that you SSD performs properly, regardless of how the data got there.

    Arming yourself with a bit of knowledge can go a long way.

    Installing the latest chipset driver, and the RST Tools, will ensure optimal performance of the SSD. but rather than taking my advice, I suggest the OP takes a look here:

    http://blogs.dirteam.com/blogs/sand...7-and-ssds-to-clone-windows-or-reinstall.aspx

    Install A Solid State Drive In Your Notebook

    Keep in mind, also, Digibucc, that many retail drives include software and such that very specifically is to be used to ttranser the OS from an existing mechanical drive to an SSD, and if there really was alot fo issues stemming from the cloning process, they would not have packages like that, simply to eliminate tech support costs. While not the optimal option, cloning is NOT a bad thing, as long as you take the nessecary steps.
