Hello guys, I've never been good with understanding storage.
Long story short, I cloned a partition containing my OS from an HDD to an SSD and now I have terrible performance. I have been troubleshooting for a day and I believe I have come accross the answer. Someone on this very forum posted this:
" this can happen if you clone os partition from your hdd to ssd
i suggest you to completely delete the entire volume on ssd, reinitialize volume as MBR and create the partition within windows 7 setup (after you click install windows, click drive options>new); either do it within windows (booted from your hdd obviously) or get bootable partition wizard cd ( http://www.partitionwizard.com/partition-wizard-bootabl... ) from here:
http://www.partitionwizard.com/download.html (5th link, )
if that doesn't help and if all the settings in bios are correct (ahci mode pretty much, also try using a different sata cable) then i'd RMA the drive"
The problem is, I really have no idea what most of that means. Like, I know basically that it tells me to delete everything off the SSD and install windows fresh, but I have no clue what "reinitialize volume as MBR" means, for example.
If somebody could give me a step-by-step or just make it simpler, that would be great!
Thanks
