No matter what happens, DO NOT take your product to the "Best Buy Geek Squad." The Geek Squad is BY FAR the BIGGEST WASTE of money - even for easy tasks that take a very small amount of time and effort. First, go to the Amazon website to purchase this product that connects a USB 3.0 input with this SATA III SSD. You can also search for the following product: "SABRENT USB 3.0 to SSD." Here is a link to that product: https://www.amazon.com/Sabrent-2-5-Inch-Adapter-Optimized-EC-SSHD/dp/B011M8YACM/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?crid=U7BZU9FTPFVI&keywords=usb+to+sata+adapter&qid=1700788005&sprefix=usb+to+sata+%2Caps%2C563&sr=8-2-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&psc=1 You will also need to use an excellent free "Cloning" form of software. I have used one from "Macrium" called "Reflect 8 Home" many times." Here is the link you will need: https://www.macrium.com/reflectfree You can also use an excellent program called AOMEI. One potential problem whenever you "Clone" a smaller form of disk drive to a larger form of disk drive is the cloning software may create two different partitions. AOMEI software will help you to unite the partitions into one SSD. You can read about that here: https://www.aomeitech.com/kb/backupper/cant-use-full-ssd-capacity-after-cloning.html Here is the link to download AOMEI for free: https://www.aomeitech.com/download.html For the record, the reason I'm helping this person out so much is because I'm doing everything possible to make sure I cheat Best Buy Geek Squad out of stealing money from another person. It was TERRIBLE the way Best Buy REFUSED to allow me to at least have "Store Credit" for that piece of junk Hisense U8K that doesn't even play USB movies properly or allow audio to come from the eARC/ARC channel properly. As the saying goes, "The satisfied customer tells his friends, while the unsatisfied customers tells everyone."
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.you need the usb sata cable and go to the disk drives to format it,, (NOT MBR),, then you need the FREE mini partition tool wizard to clone the windows and once complete, you can then swap the ssd out easily!!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Sure
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If you just bought it and mount it without cloning it, you'll need to find another pc to make a media recovery to install Windows. The serial number will be activated based on what already been on the computer.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The Best Buy Geek Squad should be able to help you with that. There most likely will be a charge, I suggest you call your local Best Buy and speak to someone in the Geek Squad department.
