I bought me a 1TB 850 EVO today and installed it. It replaces my 120GB 840 PRO I was using for two Hyper-V VM's, I just needed larger .vhdx disks, because after the last Insider Preview upgrade I didn't have enough disk space to use windows, and couldn't interact with it, until I deleted some checkpoints to gain space.
So after installing it I did the following(copied from an IM I sent someone today):
There's probably a tutorial that need's to be made there.:)Migrating Partitions Using Macrium Reflect
- I first created images of the 2 partitions I wanted to put on the drive(my Libraries & Hyper-V VM's).
- I then created 2 partitions in the size I wanted, using 2 temporary drive letters(more to that after).
- I then dragged & dropped the partitions, I wanted to restore, onto the appropriate New Partitions.
- Macrium restored them.
- Then I I checked if the folders were imaged.
- Then deleted the original 2 partitions and expanding the remaining space to the adjoining partitions, on the original drive.(This frees up the original drive letters to be reused-->VERY IMPORTANT!)
- I then closed & reopened Disk Management(so it would rescan), expanded the unused space inside the new individual partitions).
- Lastly, changed the temporary drive letters to the original, because Hyper-V will be looking for a specific letter, and all my Media players, Photos app, and other software will be looking for the Libraries drive letter.
Hyper-V ran both my VM's without a hitch, and my media opened with no problems.
