As you may recall, I purchased a standard configuration MB1 a while ago and wanted to upgrade the CPU, RAM, and SSD. I was able to upgrade the RAM to 16GB and the CPU to an i7-6700T without a problem, but for some reason can't seem to clone the original 120GB SSD to a 1TB NVMe SSD. I did the cloning in the MB1, and tried both AOMEI Backerupper and EaseUS Todo Backup. I've selected the "Clone Disk" option in both programs, with the 1TB SSD connected through an adapter to one of the rear USB ports. Both clone programs report a successful clone, but I cannot get the MB1 to boot from the cloned drive.
Questions:
1) Am I doing the cloning correctly? Is it really as simple as cloning the 120GB SSD to the 1TB SSD with the 120GB drive still in the MB1 and using the "Clone Disk" command?
2) Is it possible that the MB1 is unable to boot from a drive as large as 1TB?
3) Can I clone the 120GB drive while the MB1 is running from it, or does the cloning have to be done using a separate PC that has booted from its own drive?
4) Does anything have to be done after the cloning operation to make the new SSD bootable?
Thanks,
