Question Question Can i change 4095 bytes sector size to 512 bytes sector size ?

[bencefekete66]

I have adata gammix s11 pro m.2 ssd, but i can not install the windows on it with acronis because it shows that it uses 4095 bytes sector syze ... can i somehow change it to 512 bytes secor size or not? Thank you ... (I wrote this on wrong page ... sorry for this, i think admins can delete that post)

No, you may be able to work around it by imaguing the drive to something else and restoring it to the S11.
I've never tried it, but it's been recommended:

You're trying to clone from one drive to another, not "install"...correct?
If that is the case, see the above linked thread.

Specifically, just like this:
Assuming you have another drive with sufficient free space to hold the entirety of your current m.2 drive:

1. Download and install Macrium Reflect
2. Run that, and create a Rescue CD or USB (you'll use this later). "Other Tasks"
3. In the Macrium client, create an Image to some other drive. External USB HDD, maybe. Select all partitions. This results in a file of xxxx.mrimage
4. When done, power OFF.
5. Swap the 2 drives
6. Boot up from the Rescue USB you created earlier.
7. Recover, and tell it where the Image is that you created in step 3, and which drive to apply it to...the new m.2
8. Go, and wait until it finishes.
9. That's all...this should work.
