Hi,

I am trying to upgrade my laptop drive to an SSD. I've purchased a Sandisk Ultra II 120 gb SSD.
The drive was delivered earlier today and I tried to set up windows 10 from my bootable USB Windows 10 rescue disk. Yet it didn't work.
I selected my rescue disk to initiate a fresh setup with my HDD replaced with the new SSD.
However, sth went totatlly wrong and windows warned me saying I didn't have enough space on the system drive. Isn't 120 gb enough for setting windows 10 up?

I need urgent help please.
Thanks.

Rescue disk can't do anything if there's no rescue partition in the HDD. All that trying probably just made a small startup partition which can't fit OS in.
Now you need whole windows on USB to initiate installation. From it you can delete all the partitions on SSD and let windows make it's own partitions.
