Cloned SSD won’t boot

iDATUSYou don't say what the new drive manufacture is. If its an Addlink NVME drive it wont work. Solution is to use the built-in "Create a recovery drive" in Windows. It is the 1TB Samsung 970 Evoplus. I’m transferring the data/cloning using a USB-C M.2 enclosure. So if I create a recovery drive from windows does that successfully create a bootable drive without having to reinstall windows and all the drivers?

Cloned SSD won’t boot

iDATUS1st of all you don't need the enclosure which may help you get past the issue. I have done a video (bit out of date and new one coming soon) that shows the method at least how to do this. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLA31rku1BK2rWzOEHRLSWsK0QhPFG49wA There seems to be issues cloning from the new blades on to some nvme's. I be a bit surprised if the Samsung is one though. This comment comes from bimmerboi Finally found a way to make it work. I used the built-in "Create a recovery drive" in Windows. This prompted me to do a full system backup on a usb flash drive. I then switch drives, did a clean install of Windows, then recovered using the flash drive. It was a long process but it worked. Thanks for the videos! I’ll get started and let you know how it turns out.

Cloned SSD won’t boot

iDATUSBrill. Best of luck to you. I noticed on your comments in YouTube you posted: “You don’t need to use this boot from USB option to replace your internal. 1. Install the backup software. 2. Backup all the images. 3. Create image recovery USB boot from within the backup software. 4. Replace your old SSD with new. 5. Boot up off the recovery USB drive. 6. Recover all the partitions. So when you recover the partitions from the USB recovery, do you have to worry about installing the drivers for everything? Like WiFi driver, touchpad driver, etc...?

Cloned SSD won’t boot

iDATUSIts in effect a clone of the original drive and you will boot up as normal. You will have an added partition which you can format as D: etc. Why I said it may work better is that when you boot up the bios and interface is exactly as it would be and removes the usb unit from the equation. When I restore windows from a full image backup onto my new SSD, will that overwrite everything on my new SSD? (I want it to). I did an OS to SSD migration that didn’t work so now I need to wipe the new SSD.

Cloned SSD won’t boot

iDATUSWhen you do a partition (volume) recovery from an image it destroys what was there. It does NOT merge like file restores. I have actually as this comes up quite a bit, ordered a new Addlink 1TB NVMe and an USB C enclosure to try it out myself. Thanks for all your help! I was able to do the system image recovery on a USB and got it recovered on my new 1TB NVMe. After windows installed, Razer automatically installed all its software. Just had to update and install synapse and cortex. It was much simpler than expected and I don’t know why I didn’t do it in the first place before trying to clone and swap. I hope you can figure out why cloning won’t work. During my countless hours of reading page after page, I think it’s something to do with the USB-C connection. In the past, I cloned from an HDD to a M.2 in a vacant slot in the motherboard and no issues. Have also cloned from a SATA SSD to a larger SATA SSD in an enclosure via USB connections and no issues. Maybe it was some BIOS

BLADE 15 RTX 30 SERIES | Still the Best Gaming Laptop

So Nvidia announced the mobile 3060 will support up to 12Gb and the 3080 up to 16Gb. Why do you only have 8Gb as an option even for the 3080’s? Also, will you continue to run 5 year old Intel 14nm processors that generate way too much heat or will you finally offer AMD. I was really looking forward to upgrading from my 2070 max-q system this year, but I feel like the balls being dropped. There’s potential out there, you just have to make it happen.

Is 8GB VRAM really enough for the 3080?

Continued since Razer won’t allow posts longer than 6 lines without saying “Access Denied”. Nvidia is even offering the 3060 with 12GB of VRAM and the 3080 with 16GB. So why is razer, who pride themselves on taking no compromises, compromising with only 8GB?

I’m really not sure I’m convinced. At 1080p, Far cry 5 and AC Valhalla already take 6GB, as these worlds get larger and more detailed, they will take more memory, especially in the higher resolutions. And yes, the PS5 and the series X have 16GB of shared memory, so I feel devs will push these consoles to their limits while our 8GB won’t be future proof for the next 3 years.

I was reading the VRAM from the games graphic menus. I’ve also confirmed with MSI afterburner that they take about 6GB of video memory on 1080p so I can imagine on 4K they’d use all 8 and be throttled. This was with them both on max settings. Far Cry also had the enhanced texture pack. I hope that they offer at least one 15” option with 16Gb to put my mind at ease. I hope to fire up a 3080 with a 4K monitor but I also need a laptop more portable than the 17”. I know other manufacturers will be offering their laptops with the 16Gb variant on their 15” laptops.
