Original Post: So this turned out to be fun, and productive - on several levels. Update: 07-02-2021 - C.S.Cameron posted this to - Although I've not tested this yet - it's a great post and appears to support both UEFI and older BIOS/MBR configurations. (Note that I'm not in anyway affiliated with TDBT, nor do I have an affiliate link with Amazon.) The cables that came with the TDBT enclosure work fine. The only caveat so far is that a Belkin USB-C cable I have here refused to recognize the TDBT device. The enclosure, installation instructions, parts, are all top quality and the heat sink works. I've since switched to the TDBT M.2 NVMe SSD Enclosure (using the JMicron JMS583 controller), which is working great. I was having difficulty removing all partitions from the drive under Ubuntu using GParted - with GParted freezing on device re-scan. I was using a the 'Plugable Tool-Free NVMe' enclosure, but started to have difficulties with the Realtek RTL9210 controller and/or their USB cables. Depending on motherboard manufacturer).īest option would be fresh Windows installation, but cloning with few tweaks here and there will save you a lot of time.Īnd if you are not comfortable with many HDD's and partitions, just unplug unnecessary HDD's when you are installing windows or otherwise doing something with partitions.Update: 17-08-2020 - a few people have asked which NVMe external enclosure I'm using in the photo above. If it boots, then you can plug back in all HDD`s (when your pc is turned off, of course) and in BIOS boot options set SSD as primary boot device (or set it as primary HDD device, and then set HDD as primary boot device. I recommend to leave pagefile on SSD for speed reasons, and dont worry about old articles saying that pagefile.sys will wear out your SSD, that was a concern for first SSD drives millennia ago.Īfter you clone Windows, turn off computer and unplug all HDD`s and boot from SSD to make 100% sure it is booting, and it is booting from SSD. If you do cloning, you will have to do a few things, to make sure Windows properly uses SSD and its provided speed (disable hibernate file, make sure TRIM and AHCI are enabled.
This is the way i did, and i was booting from SSD in 10 minutes after starting cloning process (25GB data on C disk). Fastest and easiest way is to clone your Windows partition from HDD to SSD.
