I did not need to format the old HDD, after restoring the Windows installation in the SSD, now it is being used for starting with no need to press F12, so the poltergeist has generado. Thanks for your suporte!

Hi Jack, I’ve got the SSD working with the clone and I’ve just reinstalled a clean Windows 10 with the restore partition, and now the laptop works better than when it was new. Now I have a weird poltergeist: I have the old HDD connected with the CD-to-HDD adapter, the SSD in the main slot and in BIOS the first is Windows…

I've tried AOMEI Backupper and the clone function only is not included in the free version.I'm cloning the disk with MacriumReflect, but is a bit tricky because the application tries to copy exaclty the partitions as is, and in my case the old disk is larger than the SSD, and although the used space in the c: particion…

I’ve just received this CD to HDD adapter: https://www.amazon.es/gp/product/B01FYVFO6E/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1, because when I will get the SSD working I will connect the old HDD as a second storage.

Another idea is to create a DVD boolable with Windows 10, but last version is too large for a regular DVD and I’m not sure if my DVD+R can burn a doble layer DVD... But if the problem is related to monitor driver I think I will have the same problem... what do you think?

Hi Jack, you read my mind! I’ve just ordered a CD to HDD adapter to clone the old HDD to the SSD. Thanks for those SW, because I found some trial that give me less confidence, I’m going to try and let you know the result. Thanks again for your help!

Hi, The Windows 10 installed in the ols HDD works, but I want to move to a SSD because it goes very slow.It is strange that the recovery media that I've also created in the old Windows 10 installation does not work.What do you mean with a better way with the old HDD?

Hi Jack, Thank you so much for your support. I've just tried booting following the steps that suggested, setting a supervisor password and deactivating secure boot, and it shows the Acer logo and then the screen goes black and show the logo again... and black again... and never starts. I've also created another USB with…

Hi Jack, thanks for your contributions! 1) yes, the SSD si detected and its serial number is shown in the BIOS 2) I’ve tried booting from the USB with the old HD connected and it does not work, and alfer a blink of the Acer logo the laptop starts up with the windows installed in the HD.

Thank you for your idea but I've already tested with 3 with 64 and 32GB
