Hi, I have a custom built PC with an ASUS Z97-K motherboard. I downloaded the latest BIOS for my motherboard from the ASUS website and updated it successfully by using the BIOS flash utility from a USB drive After I got the confirmation that the BIOS had been updated successfully, the system...

Thanks everyone, you've been helpful.

I think I'm going to reinstall Windows on the new drive after all. Can't hurt to start with a fresh system. Once it is done, how do I format the old SSD? It has a bootable partition and I don't see any option in the disk manager to format this drive. Or is it just because it is currently the...

Ok got it. In fact the cloning was never successful, I always booted on the same old SSD. I tried cloning the current system disk on the new one again but this time Macrium Reflect won't let me clone it. It says that the drive is currently in use. I understand it has to be unlocked but have no...

Thanks, that is the option I was looking for. I had to do it twice cause I messed up the partition size the first time but it's ok now, all that's left is change the boot order.

Hey guys, I'm cloning a 250GB SSD to a new 500GB SSD. I am using Macrium Reflect which is supposed to do that easily for me but I am not sure about partitions: should I use the default "copy selected partitions" action while cloning? What about the unused space on the new SSD? Doesn't it need to...
