Hello ,
i´m trying to shift a Windows 7 HDD-Image from a Dell Latitude E5570 with a Serial ATA SSD to a Dell Latitude E5580 Model with an NVMe SSD. We clone the first disk with acronis. Sadly< all my Efforts to run the image on the NVMe SSD do not work. I´ve installed both of the MS Hotfixes running the 5570 and installed the (what i suppose are the NVMe driver) and the USB 3.0 driver. After cloning and installing it on the 5580 Window stries to boot but dies in a 0x7B BSOD.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
@Raul :
Welcome at Win-RAID Forum!
My suggestion is to do a fresh OS installation onto the NVMe SSD.
This is much easier and safer than to try cloning the boot and system partitions from an OS, which is/was running with another protocol (here: SATA AHCI).
Additional benefit: You can start your new system without any garbage resp. unusable residues from your previous work.

Hi and thank you for the nice welcome.
the thing is that there is a LOT of software installed and it most likely would take much longer than sheduled and some settings from
the old image might get lost. I won´t argue that a reinstall is the far cleaner way but i was hoping to at least boot it and check if it
works, but so far i always get a bsod. I thought that i implement the changes in the working laptop, clone it on a new one and get
it running.
Hi,
1) Do you see the NVMe SSD in the boot-menu?
2) Did you install the native support for NVMe in Win 7:
KB2990941 & KB3087873?
Hello,
1 - What boot menu do you mean? In the Bios as boot option? if so than yes.
2 - i´ve installed both hotfixes on the working laptop before cloning.
