V2.7 came with the drive but the latest is V3.0// In the end I upgraded Samsung Data Migration app from their website and everything worked fine. It was very frustrating and there's are many suggestions out here.
Is there anyone who have had solved such problem with installing windows 10 on a brand new Samsung 850 EVO SSD? I am not that technologic but with clear instructions from internet I have fixed some problems.
I've update all the chipset drivers om my PC without solving the problem. I thought it was so easy, just plug in - run - clone - change harddrive, but it is giving me head ache. Att this I have tried with the SSD connected through SATA to USB 3 externally on PC. In BIOS ACHI is activated and the SSD doesn't appear in BIOS. I wanted to clone the OS partition/system but Samsung software (Magician and Data transfer manager) can't find the SSD. I bought a Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SSD with a USB 3-SATA cable (came included in the SSD box). Unfortunaly I started updating Windows to Windows 10 and I can't downgrade to Windows 7.
I am about to upgrade my Asus EeeBox EB1501p with more RAM and a SSD. Too basic questions, but I want to learn. Can it easily be recognised if connected internally? How will I connect it? Do I need to unplug the current HHD and use its port for the SSD? I yes, how can I clone that HHD if it's unplugged from the motherboard? I have read people comment on connecting the SSD internally through SATA II and a power cable. In the thread you mention they seem to have solved the problem with earlier windows, not Windows 10.ĭo you think it is worth trying other cloning software (instead of Samsung Data Migration and Magician) even when the SSD is not recognised in windows explorer or BIOS? The SATA- USB 3-cable I used came with the EVO SSD. Once you've SE'd the drive you can then run the data migration program." If Samsung Magician recognizes the drive then Secure Erase it to restore it to a fresh-out-of-the-box condition. Http /" Remove the SSD from the enclosure and connect it to your laptop with the cable that came with it and then run Samsung Magician and see if it recognizes the drive. Try following the instructions provided by the answerer: I would rather be using Samsungs dedicated software as it includes various optimisation tools (and probably most importantly, firmware updating - I think I am correct in saying this).Ī similar problem appears here for the 840 Evo. My plan is to format my ssd once the Samsung migration software has been updated to accommodate windows 10 and start all over again (for now I have windows 10 on both my ssd and hdd). And once finished move the documents back onto your secondary hdd. Simple to get around if you have an external harddrive to back up your documents, then clone everything that is left (OS etc). The samsung migration/magician tool apparently lets you select what you want to move (helpful if you are keeping a secondary hdd like myself to store docs and pics etc). It seems ok but as far as I can see you can't select what you want to migrate, it's all or nothing. Therefore I used Macrium Reflect (free version did it for me). I thought about waiting until Samsung updated their migration software - but I am far too impatient for that. I had exactly the same problem as you (same samsung ssd, already installed windows 10 etc).
