Hi,
I have a Thinkpad w550s bought in 2015 running Win 7 with 512 GB HDD.
I am trying to upgrade it to 1 TB Samsung EVO.
I attached the SSD using a SATA USB cable. Using Minitools Partition Wizard 10, I cloned the HDD to SSD.
In BIOS, I changed the boot order to USB SSD.
When I start the laptop, just after Windows screen, I get the blue screen.
I thought may be the clone didnt work well.
So I used Macrium Reflect software to clone the HDD to SDD.
In this case also, I get the blue screen.
Can you please suggest what could be the problem?
This is a brand new SSD. Do you think it could be corrupt?
A friend said may be the master boot record didnt get cloned properly. How can I test that?
I also tried removing the HDD and putting the SSD in the slot. In this case, i dont get a blue screen, but a single letter j on the top left side of black screen.
Any ideas would be really appreciated.
