Hi guys,
I have a brand new Lenovo G5070, Windows 8.1 pre-installed.

I purchased separately a Samsung SSD ("PM851 2.5 inch, 512 GB SSD") to replace the hybrid hd (with 8GB SSD inside) which was already in the laptop. (Strange perhaps, but I couldn't purchase the laptop with the 512GB SSD).

So basically I bought Paragon Premium "Migrate OS to SSD" and used this to clone everything from the HSSD to the brand new Samsung SSD. According to the software this worked.

However!...when I swap the drives (i.e. put the new Samsung SSD which is now containing the cloned stuff from the original laptop hd), a screen comes up upon start up which says something along the lines of "cannot be booted".

I have looked all over the web but cannot find anything...

Please help guys!

All the best,
Shane

There is a certain key that you have to press get you into the bios. Yours may be F1. As soon as you turn on the computer, start tapping on the F1 key. If successful, you will see all sorts of settings. Look for secure boot, disable and save. Good luck.
