I'm surprise I'm having much trouble with this. I'm thinking I'm missing a step somewhere.
I have a Sager Laptop running Windows 10 Pro with all of the latest patches and updates.
The OS (C:\) currently lives on Samsung V-NAND SSD 860 EVO SATA M.2 500 GB and want to upgrade to the same version, except the size is a 2 TB drive, as I'm running out of room for VMs.
I've used EaseUS Todo to clone from the old disk to the new disk and no issues.
When I plug the new SSD into the laptop, not able to boot off of it, in order to load Windows 10 OS.
I go into the BIOS/UEFI, which is Aptio v2.20.1271 and the new SSD isn't showing up. I currently have two SSD Drives in this laptop. Once is m.2 SSD (500 GB) and the other is a Samsung SSD 2.5 Inch 500 GB. Matter of fact, the other drive doesn't appear under the bootable drives under the BIOS. And doesn't have all of the extra partitions like C:\ (450 MB partition, 100 MB EFI System Partition and 516 Recovery Partition, along with the C:\ partition).
Can anyone point me in the right direction so I can get this successfully setup?
thanks
