Using EasyUEFI (I started thinking UEFI was the issue)Īt a point I left it and went back to work.īoth disks had Master Boot Record(MBR) partitions so there was no good reason it won’t work.

Running bcdedit and bcdboot via the command lineĬreating a Macrium rescue disk and using the Fix Boot option I spent the last few days trying everything: I went through the same process, swapped the Hard Drives & it refused to boot, saying windows cannot find a boot device. The clones for my Elitebook, Mini and Dell all went through without a hitch, plug, clone and swap so over the weekend, I decided to clone my beloved M6 (after backing up).

I also ordered a couple of SSD’s during the Crucial Black Friday sales to upgrade my other computers. I purchased two 8GB Samsung RAM sticks, put them in and that worked like magic. It’s getting a bit slow so I decided to upgrade it. My favorite computer is a HP Envy M6 which I bought in November, 2012 and has a lot of sentimental value to me as it was the first major purchase I made with money from my first business – Clue Webhost.

I’ve been working from home 90% of the time since the pandemic so not having a commute has given me some free time to pursue hobbies and tinker (I installed an entire 3KV 24V solar system some months back with google and tools).
