It was time to move from a Samsung SSD to a larger one. Quite simply, I thought, with the Samsung cloning software. But, as so often in life a PC hobbyist the pitfalls were in detail: from whatever reason, although my system drive was the previous SSD but in the Windows installation of the associated boot manager on the also existing HDD was installed. Thus, when cloned, the clone had no boot manager on board and the start was not working. It took me almost a whole day to figure out how I can install the boot manager later on the clone. If you know how to do it - and the UEFI BIOS not constantly the boot sequence upsets - it is actually quite simple and solved over the Shell in 10 minutes. But if just not - then there can sometimes draufgehen a whole day and others will perhaps not provide. This Samsung would only install a boot manager check routine in the cloning software and possibly create a boot manager. Effort in software development: 2 hours. Because of the lack of software functionality, as well as the lack of entries in the FAQ for this constellation (which, according to web forums occurs very often), there is a star deduction. Otherwise, the SSD is great.
