What do? Does anyone have any solutions to this or is this a failed project and I need to return this SSD to Best Buy? Any help is appreciated. By the way, AOMEI Partition Assistant Pro has an average rating of 4.5 stars from 10 CNET users - an exceptionally good score for any such utility.
Where did it go? I cloned it several times and it never clones over. Windows tells me to insert the recovery media. When I booted the computer up finally, I decided to go ahead and reformat. Tip: To boot from the new disk, you need to change the boot order in the BIOS settings. Then connect the power and boot from the new NVMe M.2 drive. Backup only changed data with daily/weekly/monthly incremental or differential backup, or use event triggers or USB plug in to perform specific backup. Step 4: Place the case cover and battery back onto the notebook. AOMEI Backupper Professional still offers users excellent additional features to make backup & restore, sync, clone, system maintenance easier. I managed to get all the disk cloned over after some headache. Step 3: Gently press the back end of the SSD towards the motherboard, and then screw to secure the M.2 SSD. My problem is when I tell Aomei Partition Assistant to use the extra space, it gives some of it to the boot drive, some of it to the extra partitions and still leaves some unallocated which is annoying in itself. So what I'm trying to do is this: Clone the old and tiny SSD to the 1TB SSD and expand the unallocated extra 900 or so GB to the BOOT partition so as to not fill up the partition with my programs that I want to go into the C drive as you would a computer that already came with a bigger drive. So the boot drive in question is the one in the photo that's backing up at the moment to a flash drive.
If it helps, the Dell is a Dell InspiGaming and what stock hardware it comes with aside from extra ram and a replaced HDD to SSD. The two drives are built in GPT instead of MBR because the Dell came like that. I've cloned many drives and never had this kind of trouble before. I've been trying to clone a Dell laptop sub 200GB Toshiba mvme M key SSD to a 1TB Crucial P5 2280 SSD and having really bad luck with it.
