I'm using Samsung data migration tool. The NVMe drive is 512 GB with less than 100 GB used. The SATA SSD drive is 256 GB.
I have successfully migrated these situations...
1) Bootable o/s SATA HDD to SATA GB 870 EVO = Bootable/Working 870 EVO
2) Bootable o/s SATA 840 pro SSD to SATA 870 EVO = Bootable/Working 870 EVO
3) Bootable o/s SATA 870 EVO back to SATA 840 pro SSD = Bootable/Working 840 pro
I thought I was getting good with data migration but when I try to migrate NVMe to SATA SSD it doesn't work.
After the migration is complete with no reported errors I remove the NVMe drive and leave the migrated SATA SSD in system. I ensure all the bios options are set correctly. When I attempt booting with the freshly migrated SATA SSD I get a Windows blue screen saying can't find bootable disk.
ANY SUGGESTIONS? I want to use the system with the bootable NVMe drive but have a bootable/working SATA SSD in cause the system I give to my pops become corrupted I can drop in the "ready to go" SATA SSD and get the computer working quickly again.
