    What evidence do you have that your PC M2 is compatible with an NVMe SSD? Please post.

    I've read a few sites that say it's sata only.

    The research that I did shows that the 7559 supports SATA only. An NVMe SSD will not be bootable in it. The SSD can be accessed from Windows loaded from the HDD because it is using the NVMe driver that Windows is loading. In order to boot from the NVMe SSD, the computer's firmware must have the NVMe driver built into the firmware, which the Inspiron 7559 obviously does not.

    Well, guess I did a mistake and confused Sata m2 with nvme m2.

    Sorry everyone for the trouble and thank you for your time spent troubleshooting my issue.

    The 860 evo I found indicates it's a sata type SSD not NVMe.

    So, now we just have to get it sorted out.

    Better late than never, I'm going to try to replace it with a SATA m.2, if possible.

    EDIT: lol @ W10, here we go again

    EDIT2: this is from Samsung:
    Code:
    INTERFACE
SATA 6 Gb/s
(compatible with SATA 3 Gb/s & SATA 1.5 Gb/s)
    EDIT 3: @navy, so if I install a clean win10 copy, then, in the cloning software, I would have to select and copy only the "OS" partition, not all the partitions like I did before, right?

    - - - Updated - - -

    Update from last night,

    I can see some progress. Successfully installed windows from a bootable USB to the new SSD and it successfuly boots by itself, with and w/out the old HDD.

    Now, I would like to clone the following partition ( HDD to SSD ), can I just drag&drop, overwrite the partition which now is booted from, with the hopes that it will work?

    Yes. I recommend you do it by booting from a Macrium Reflect USB flash drive and then after you do the drag and drop of the OS partition only, run the Fix Windows Boot Problems utility. It is only available, though, if you boot into Macrium Reflect rescue drive.

    Live updates:

    32% into cloning, returned an error 0 - 23 some read problems - can't believe this, it's a neverending pit!

    Running checkdisk on the main HDD now.

    - - - Updated - - -

    System restarted somewhere at stage 5, now I can't boot from main HDD either, just get the 0x0000 error, I really hope I can still boot .. somehow.

    Restarted a couple of times, now it's doing the check disk again, with a lower ETA though.

    Is it possible to recover the windows? :/

    It sounds like it is time to restore the last backup image of the HDD to the SSD.

    I don't think I did an image backup.

    Besides, it's still running the check disk now, stage 5 @ 23%, overall at 36%

    Is it normal for the check disk to run until some point and then restart itself?
