Why is switching hard drives so freakin' complicated? Web tutorials make it look and sound super easy, but it took me 12 hours and several attempts to finally get the new hard disk all cloned from my original and installed and bootable. I tried three different migragration/cloning apps, and the one that finally worked was the manufacturer's, which almost every review of said was crap. Worked flawlessly for me. After I found where to GET it, since it didn't actually come with the hard drive and none of the documentation with it mentioned the manufacturer's software or where to find it. And while I'm ranting... BAD Windows! BAD! *whacks the computer with a rolled up magazine* I'm quite unfond of how difficult Win10 makes some computer management tasks.
I did achieve success finally, though, and now have over 700GB of unused storage and my original 250GB SSD as a spare (the new hard disk is SSD also). Hooray!
