I have an ageing i7 PC and decided to make start on replacing it with another PC I got an i5 9400F which I was surprised has more cores than the old i7, though less threads
It was a bargain with Win 10 already installed. But it had a small SSD so i purchased a PNY 480Gb at the same time with the idea of cloning it over. I started putting my stuff on and got to a comfortable system.
As I have done previously I did a System image in Win 10to an external HD and then tried to boot off an external Win DVD.. it would not see the DVD drive.. went into Bios (Asus Prime H310M - R R 2.0) and looked for boot options but only got PCi options... if i select an option BIOS rather than UEFI i can boot into the DVD and run restore image but afyter seemingly copying, that didn't work when I tried to boot off the larger SSD
I re-selected UEFI back on and I dusted off my ActiveDisk program and cloned disk to disk which it said was successful. However I would not boot up into Windows but tried to repair itself...
I'm lost as t what to do... I have seen references to secure boot but don't have enough knowledge to go into that without some simple information.
As I said in the title. it was going to be soooo easy..🙄🙄
Another simpler method out there?
Help!
