So I took my computer to the Repair shop and they were able to make the SSD drive the boot drive again.
#Samsung data migration failed how to#
All suggestions for how to fix the problem failed. Using another computer, I went online and found that reports have started to come in from people who have had the same problem several suggested that this problem was caused by a recent Windows update. I was unable to delete, rename or do anything to change winload.exe, even when I logged in as an administrator. I have three recent Macrium images (I image every day) and when I tried to run any of them, I got an error message from each saying they were corrupt. And I got the same error message when I tried to use Samsung’s Data Migration program. I got the same error message when I tried to restore a Macrium image. When I tried to boot from the new SSD drive, I got a BSOD screen that said that there was a corrupt file, winload.exe, which resides in Windows\System 32, that stopped the process. My sad story: I had a new Samsung SSD drive installed on my computer. I am back again and still having problems. By the way, the Samsubng SSD (870 EVO) is SATA and doesn't involve NVMe.

Although I thought it would be faster I don't really mind the slow Startup as so far there have been no problems with the upgrade to SSD, but it would be nice to know what is slowing it down. As the Startup continues there are a number of welcome screens, scenic photos that flash by. Various microphone and speaker features, and Macrium, make the startup slower. I thinned out the list of programs/features that get loaded when Windows starts, but it seems that some features not shown in the Task Manager's Startup list could be the problem. But it still takes a long time (over 2 minutes) for Windows to start -not much faster than when the HDD was controlling.

I followed directions (System > About in the Settings window, scrolled to "Windows specifications" section and found I have the latest version of Windows 10 (October 2020 20H2 designation.) Programs load quickly. Hello Seekforever, JP and others: Not sure if using the Samsung Data Migration program to upgrade to the SSD was better choice than using Macrium reviews all said it works like a charm. The Samsung program apparently does does cloning with some limitations, not just a file copy. I don't understand most of your first paragraph!! Way over my head! Looks like a safe route is the Samsung approach unless I want to hire someone to make the switch. And V8 will make this more convenient when it arrives. You’d have to “stage” a custom restore if you want resized partitions rather than empty space at the end of the disk. Reflect (currently) does not do that automatically. Samsung’s app can be handy in that it automatically resizes your Windows partition to fill the capacity of the new disk. If you are sticking with SATA for your SSD, or you are in RAID mode regardless of the SSD type you’re installing, you shouldn’t need ReDeploy.In terms of how to clone the data, both apps should get the data moved over just fine. If you are moving from SATA to NVMe and also in AHCI mode, you very likely will need ReDeploy. Are you switching from SATA to NVMe? If so, is your system set to AHCI or RAID mode? This matters even if you’re not actually using RAID.
