What to do if it says No bootable device when replacing hdd with ssd on a laptop?

Question

Solid State Drives

Hello.

I bought a new ssd and decided to replace it with an old lenovo ideapad laptop.

I searched the Internet, everything is fine in the BIOS. Tried a lot, but nothing worked. What can be done ?

Answer 1

Look for 'OS migration when changing disk to ssd', your ssd manufacturer is 99% likely to give you instructions for this, a link to a free utility and even a free key to some acronis true home.

Answer 2

In no case do a stupid copy of the contents of the system partition of the source disk to a new one. And even transfer by creating an image, opening a backup, etc. better to avoid. The most correct way is to use the option "Migrate OS to SSD" , which is available in many advanced partition managers (for example, on Paragon's HDM or on AOMEI Partition Assistant). In order not to bother with getting this software (and even more so, not to buy it), run some popular repair and recovery LiveDVD or LiveUSB on your computer - one of these things is sure to be found there.
But in general, this question of yours appears here on the Toaster regularly, and this is not the first time I have answered it. And not even the second.
