I think we are far off-topic here so I won't continue on that.

Read about UEFI. It is not exclusively a Microsoft thing, it's board of directors also include Intel, HP, AMD, Apple, Dell, Lenovo and IBM. The list of members is much larger. Remember that the...

McAfee came with the system. I already have a license for ESET that I will use with it. I previously used McAfee for a year and I did not like it but it was not bad.

I did that before proceeding to trying the other possibilities.

It is now working the way I wanted it to.

The important thing to do is, when the Samsung Data Migration software says to disable the antivirus software, don't ignore that. When I did the clone...

Please see Change, add, or remove a drive letter - Windows Help. That describes how to specify a drive letter for a drive. The assigned letter will remain assigned to the drive even if it is offline....

I want to make it clear that I probably do not want to dual boot. I will leave the first copy on the drive but make the SSD volume active. That is different from dual booting. I understand that...

Tomorrow I will study further what you said, Night Hawk.

Many years ago, like in XP days, my system booted from a "S:". I am nearly certain that I assigned the drive the letter S using the Disk...

I have a new computer. I want to clone the system to a new SSD. Can I change the drive letter of the SSD to C: after cloning?

My new computer (an ASUS) currently has Windows 8.1. I intend to...
