usually it doesn't matter. yeah a good practice is to prepare the os for cloning. which os are you running?

if possible do basic optimizations based on the link at the first page of this thread also.

For w7, i think you should run windows experience index (wei) at least once. Although a fully patched w7 should be able to detect hardware changes and adjust itself accordingly, i usually will still run wei at least once manually. Verify also if trim is working and 4k alignment is ok for the ssd (usually not an issue).

Okay so I think I messed up somewhere when cloning using SSD Scope.

After cloning, when I press F8, there's no option for Repair Computer. And I suspect the System Reserved partition did not carry through during cloning.


How can I fix that?

this is one of the common things that happen when you clone, because things got adjusted accordingly by the cloning software, and the adjustments interfered with what windows has set up to run options like 'repair computer' properly. also, do keep this in mind: always keep the old hdd intact for some times, until you have tested and confirmed that the new cloned disk works as expected.

i guess you guessed it right after i read the ssd scope manual (downloaded from http://www.transcend-info.com/Support/Software-10/). it stated that only os partition will be cloned if your ssd is smaller than hdd. (there are some examples showing different scenarios)

don't worry, a simpler way is just boot windows install media to run 'repair computer'. alternatively you can create a w7 repair disk for the same purpose.

notworthy.gif notworthy.gif Thank you so much! I did the optimization and it's working well so far. And yeah, I was thinking of keeping the os partition on HDD for a while longer but wasn't sure of it. So ended up reformating.

it's nice to know that it works fine for you. have fun smile.gif

yeah destruction is always much easier than construction. (it takes hours to install os, apps, patches, etc. to make a working pc. all it takes is simple commands like diskpart > sel disk 0 > clean to wipe all) this is why a better practice is to keep stuff that works for a period of time, until everything is working in the new one. in the case of direct cloning, the old hdd is always the only fail-safe.

that, you still haven't updated anything about what you have done after that. the reason why i said your ssd is fine because the crystal diskinfo result of your m5s is the same as my m5 pro's.

what if you disable or uninstall malwarebytes and antivirus temporarily?
