That' how I transferred system from SATA SSD to M.2 Samsung 960 evo using MR backup. Keep that backup updated all the time, you never know when system might go down. MR rescue disk/USB has option to fix BOOT problem even if there's problem with MBR/GPT or legacy/UEFI bios.
Hi CountMike. Thanks for your reply.
As I understand it the MR fix and rescue functions are available only with the paid, not the free, versions.
I had used the MR system image to migrate the SSD, including windows 10, to the NVMe and it worked.
But I couldn't boot from it.Neither could the tech. He went online and discovered, he said, that the NVMe as a boot drive is incompatible with my Asus Z97-AR motherboard. Something to do, it appears, with the fact that the NVMe on the M.2 port or socket or whatever it's called, would run at times 2, not times 4.
I don't know whether the MR paid version could have fixed that.
In fact a contributor to that thread on this site said that the problem could be fixed only by causing another problem with the PCle .
I do have another question, so perhaps I could ask you before opening a new thread.
My NVMe now functions as a storage drive on M.2 and has, I take it, a speed advantage over the other drives.
The question is whether Word 2010, which I use all the time, would be faster if I transferred it to the NVMe, even without its being a Windows 10 boot drive.
Or am I getting confused again?
