Windows 10: Windows boot slow after Cloning Windows 10 from Sata SSD to Nvme SSD.

I installed a new M. 2 nvme (Samsung Evo 970 plus) ssd on my system and transferred OS( Windows 10 build 2004) from my Sata( Samsung evo 860 250gb) ssd using samsung data migration software. It worked well,OS was transferred successfully and was booting up well like normal ssd boot up but when I formatted my sata ssd from which I cloned the OS to my nvme drive,my Windows on my nvme drive is taking very long time to boot almost like hdd. I have two other Sata hdd also installed in the system.

Today I also updated my Windows 10 to October update via ISO file, but the slow boot up problem is still there.

My specs Core i5 8400 Asus prime B360m-d Nvidia Rtx 2060

Please help if anyone is familiar with kind of issue and know the resolution.

Missing Boot record (Error code: 0xc000000e) after cloning OS from an NVMe SSD to a SATA SSD

After purchasing a new 1TB SATA SSD for increased storage capacity, I wanted to clone my C: drive and OS to this SSD from my original NVMe 1TB Storage SSD, format the NVMe by wiping it clean and then transfer the OS from the SATA SSD back to the NVMe.

With a completely wiped NVMe SSD, I rebooted my PC hoping it would boot from the SATA SSD however came across the Blue Screen Error code 0xc000000e. At this point I think I have erased my boot record, originally thinking it was copied over with the clone

So far I have managed to reinstall windows onto a temporary 120GB SATA SSD, transfer this onto the NVMe SSD but now want to somehow restore/recover the OS clone drive made on the 1TB SATA SSD with the missing boot record so I do not lose my licence key and
a lot of other data.

Thankfully I use Onedrive and cloud based storage extensively so I'm not worried for documents and files but more for the PC settings which were optimised as a workstation from home.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Clone present nvme pcie ssd to replacement nvme pcie ssd?

I have a 500GB M.2 2280 NVMe PCIe SSD (boot drive) that I want to replace with a higher capacity M.2 card.

Where do I put the new SSD during the NVMe to NVMe cloning process? My mobo only has one M.2 slot for NVMe SSD's so do I want to use an external adapter for one of the M.2 cards? If so, do you have a recommendation?

If you have solved this issue for your desktop or laptop I would like your advice on if and what extra hardware you needed during the cloning.

please remember that I am dealing with PCIe NVMe drives ONLY. NO Sata is involved except possibly for a connecting cable from the desktop to an adapter. I am experienced with cloning SATA III drives but cloning NVMe is a little
new to me.

Computer: Dell XPS 8920, 32GB ram.

Present SSD: KXG50ZNV512G NVMe Toshiba 512GB

New SSD: CT13049074 Crucial P1 NVMe PCIe M.2 SSD 1TB (or 2TB if available soon) or similar storage device.

Windows 10 Pro for Workstations, version 1809.

 

Missing Boot record (Error code: 0xc000000e) after cloning OS from an NVMe SSD to a SATA SSD

Hi,

I'm having a bit of trouble following what you have done so far, but might suggest a trick that might work..

Your one picture says Disk 0 is the new cloned drive, but is showing a 256gb, not 1tb... Not a big deal, but I just wanted to make sure what I mention is correct..

Will the machine boot from the 256gb SSD with the NVMe and new 1tb removed ?

My impression is that you are now working with the new 1tb SSD that was a clone of the NVMe, and the NVMe that had the new 1tb SSD cloned back to it..

This is my suggestion that has worked for me in the past, but not always.. The way windows lays out the partitions in UEFI machines can be tricky.. Sometimes just 1mb of free space before the first partition can break the deal..

If your machine boots properly from the temp 256gb SSD, try this.. It will require that you make an image of the 256gb SSD and use bootable Macrium to restore part of it to the NVMe.. I chose the NVMe for this because it is a copy of a copy.. The best original
you have is now the new 1tb SSD..

Remove all other drives before attempting to boot with the NVMe after doing this..

After imaging the 256gb SSD, try recovering it's first Recovery partition to the NVMe and see what happens.. If that does not work, try Recovering both the Recovery and EFI.. If that fails, try all three of the partitions prior to the Windows partition..

If you still need to create the bootable media, don't even bother messing with the WinPE\Re version.. It is a real pain to create, and in my opinion, does not work as well as the Linux version.. The Linux version pretty much ignores any type of Windows fussiness,
and just does the job you request..

BTW.. Another method might be to wipe the NVMe and reinstall Windows... Then once installed and functioning, image the cloned 1tb SSD, then restore the windows partition to the NVMe overwriting what has just been installed..
