Before you Clone your SSD, you MUST do this! #shorts #ssd #clonessd

In Windows 10 & 11 you must disable Device Encryption or Bitlocker before any cloning.

Check out my main channel for more great how to videos

Thanks, Dale

Thank you! My new SSD just failed to boot and I could not figure out why.

Thank you for not rushing through your explanation during the video. I did not have to play it back 10 times to get the gist of your message others should follow your example

I thought my new SSD and enclosure were faulty until I saw your vid. Thanks for posting.

That 😮 is THE one detail I was looking for. Thanks!

Just upgraded my NVME yesterday... Works great!

[thepurrfectcat]

I think this is a good point you made here.

[ChevyUSMC]

I have had no problems cloning in my shop. I'll check this out.

[xenozanied]

Thank you, I don’t do this and got stuck in a dumb bit locker encryption loop 😂

[carstenwilliams]

Yeah I can barely see on your computer. Do you have a full video on how to do that

[johnnymetonymic]

"Device encryption" doesn't exist in my menu.

Something went wrong with my aspire 3 trying to update to win 11 using the media creation tool. I'm forced to open bios and save settings now for the laptop to boot 🥲

[VBtoonz]

Oh man i jist saw this and cloned my 1tb factory NVME to a 4tb NVME successfully before i even booted my new ASUS A17 notebook with upgraded RAM to 64gb, been trying to figure out why i can't allocate all my diskspace into one drive.

Is it the same steps for dell 15 5000 series ?

[andrejempe]

[kellycappuchino]

[keeginsane]

Hey so my battery shit the bed and puffed up like a balloon I have the hdd computer doesn’t work but I would like to transfer to an ssd battery comes in in two days hard drive comes in one is there a way to go from hd to another pc then to ssd?

[trainmaster]

There is no device encryption on my win11

[AlexUnknown]

Anyone know of free software to clone? I don't remember what I have at home but it's a free version of a paid product, Im not sure if there was a better one out there.
Just looking for recommendations.
Also stupid question but is the boot drive always C: as in if I clone my os drive, do I have to do anything special to make it a c drive later?

[benjiebarker]

Does windows 8.1 habe device encryption, too?

[XoltGamingonYT]

This isn't true! I just cloned my SSD and it IS on?!?
