Hi,
I'm bought V7-582P with 500GB SSHD and wanted to migrate to 500GB SSD (Crucial BX 100).
I used Macrium Reflect Free, however the SSD is little bit smaller, so I :
1) cloned 1st, 2nd and 4th partition (smaller, I guess system and recovery) without any change
2) made 3rd partition (Acer C
smaller to fit into the disk (I kept order of the partitions!)
3) there was ~3.7GB of free space on the SSHD, I did not "replicate" this on the SSD, so the SSD is fully utilized
-> result is : 1st,2nd,4th partition no change vs SSHD, 3rd partition size modified to fill rest of the SSD capacity
But the result was not 100% ok and it went only worse :
1) 1st boot BSOD
2) 2nd boot OK
3) however when the laptop is put into sleep mode (hibernation is turned off), it does not lit the display, so i have to turn off
4) so I tried the alt-F10 trick to restore Windows. No luck, there was a blink of screen, but there was no menu and normal boot occured right after the blink
5) hmmm...I tried "reset to factory" directly from windows (and f**ked it up completely :-D ) - reset stopped at ~47% with error message (general, nothing specific). After that when I boot up it is "preparing windows" in endless loop. The computer can be turned off, but the same happens on next boot.
So, basically, my question is - how to succesfully move the system to SSD?
