Hi everyone,
I'm currently in the middle of the 'wonderful' process of trying to migrate and clone my Windows 10 HDD to a new SSD i bought. The cloning process seemed to be successful and I can see that the Windows files have copied over when I access the SSD through 'My Computer'. However, i cant boot from the drive at all. I have changed to bios settings to boot from the ssd and it keeps booting from the original HDD. I then checked Disk Management, and found that my SSD is not set to be a bootable drive and is set to be a system drive, for some strange reason. And beacuse it is both system reserved drive now and is an active partition, I cant format it....
Therefore, I just want to start again. I want to wipe both the original drive and the new SSD and just reinstall Windows. I have all my programs and keys ready, however I dont know how to renistall Windows on the SSD and wipe everything off in the process as it is saying it is a System drive and cannot be formatted.....
