    Clone C: 860 SSD to new 970 NMVe using samsung migration tool.


    Afternoon all. Windows 10 pro version 20H2. OS Build 19042.804
    So I purchased a new Samsung 970 EVO plus NVMe 500GB drive. My intention was to migrate C: to the new 970 for faster speeds. Initially the migration worked in a fashion.
    I looked in drive manager to see my new 970 drive has been allocated a drive letter H. Now I have C: which is bootable and in good order.and the 970 drive has the fully working clone but has H as the drive letter.

    Now my goal was to have H drive become C drive. For some reason that did not work out. In the bios I have set the 970 as primary boot order and C drive as secondary boot.

    SO to try explain more here are some images of where my drives are at the moment. thanks for your help

    In a command prompt with admin privileges run:
    Code:
    bcdboot H:\Windows /s H: /f BIOS
