I bought a new SSD of the same capacity as the dying HDD and restored the Macrium image to that. I have a Dell Latitude E7440 that needed an emergency drive transplant when its original HDD started developing a large number of reallocated sectors.īefore it deteriorated further I successfully made a Macrium image of the HDD to an external HDD (nearly doubling the dying drive's reallocated sectors in the process). I would appreciate a step by step guide on the procedure to replace the hard drive with a Solid State drive specifically dealing with the transfer of all the software from the old drive to the new. I have a Dell Latitude E5420 laptop which has a Windows 10 Pro O/S. If you're close by, bring it over here and I'll gladly do it for you. I only say that, because I've done it many times.Ĭloning one HD to another HD, using my main PC, and the Ghost backup program, in CLONE mode. That would be the quickest and most reliable method for me. Then I'd put the SSD back into the laptop, and it all went well, the SSC would boot up the laptop.
Run a "Restore" of the backup, to your new SSD, and if all goes right, you should then be able to just boot up your laptop normally to your new SSD.įor me, I'd take out your old drive, and connect it to my Main PC, along with the new SSD, on different SATA ports, and while running "Ghost" I'd clone the old HD to the new SSD. Hopefully you have your backup program on a bootable CD or flash drive, that will boot up your Laptop. Then swap drives, installing the new SSD into your laptop. One way to at least try, would be to make a new backup of your Laptop drive, to an external drive. As a computer tech, I have several ways to do what you suggest.
