Well, have this Dell Inspirion 17R that came with a 1TB HHD. Upgraded last year to a 250 GB Samsung SSD 840 EVO. Now running out of room and want to upgrade to a 500 GB Samsung SSD 850 EVO. Did the clone and installed the new SSD. Message says something wrong with the OS (Windows 8.1). Following Microsoft website on creating a recovery drive, i find that my old SSD does not have the recovery on it.
NOW WHAT???? I need to get this new SSD installed as my capacity on the old SSD is about to be gone.
UPDATE: Followed Samsung directions to the letter. When finished, newly cloned Samsung 850 EVO 500 GB drive has not got two drive designations of F & E. Cannot change the drive designation since the computer cannot read the OS when I installed it. I am trying to figure out what to do. Can someone help?
