Windows 10 Sign in issues after SSD clone - Microsoft Community


hello,

i've upgraded ssd samsung 850 evo. cloned original ssd onto new evo drive after installed new drive not able log windows. there wasn't option so. there security features windows 10 prevent cloning drive? no longer have os disc don't want format , reinstall. if put old drive in have no issues logging in.

hi,

my experience cloning doesn't work various reasons...

especially if hdd\ssd's of different size...

you may have better luck if make image of old ssd, load onto new one..

you may need adjust partitions fit new ssd if of larger size...

the reloading on image done while booting imaging programs boot media, , not within windows, helps reduce interference windows..

btw... have set new ssd boot device ?

if using uefi bios select "windows boot manager", not actual drive older legacy bios...



Windows / Windows 10 / Windows Hello, lock screen & sign-in
