![]() So I tried to install the Samsung NVMe driver before taking another image but it will not install the drivers unless a Samsung NVMe SSD is present. ![]() I checked the device manager for installed drivers and sure enough there was no NVMe driver installed under disk controllers, only SATA driver. So I put back my old SATA SSD into my laptop and booted into windows. I have checked Samsung's website and they have an exe file download for installing the NVMe drivers. The only thing I can think of is that the boot partition that I cloned from my old SSD does not have the NVMe SSD drivers because previously it was a SATA SSD with the SATA drivers. ![]() In the BIOS the new drive is visible and I have checked all the BIOS setting and I cannot see anything that will prevent it booting. I also tried a Windows boot repair but this also failed to solve the problem. I tried a boot repair using Macrium and it reported that all was good but the laptop will still not boot from the new drive. This all went perfectly.įinally I shut down the laptop, removed the rescue USB and restarted the laptop but it would not boot into Windows. I rebooted the laptop using the rescue USB and copied the image onto the new NVMe SSD. I removed the 256GB SATA SSD from the laptop and installed the new 500GB NVMe SSD. Just to clarify, I made a complete image of all the drive partitions. I used Macrium Reflect 7 to first create a Rescue USB then created an image of my existing 256GB SATA drive. So I ordered a Samsung 970 Evo Plus NVMe M.2 500GB SSD. The Dell spec for the laptop states that it can use either SATA M.2 SSDs or NVMe M.2 SSDs. I have a Dell Inspiron 7373 13" laptop which is fitted with a 256GB SATA M.2 SSD.
