Forgive me if this has been posted before. If so, hopefully I can be pointed in the direction of that thread.
Physically, I moved the WD drive from the "1st" drive position to the "2nd" drive position and put the new Samsung in the "1st" position. Then I booted into windows and ran True Image. I executed the "Clone Disk" tool, with "Automatic" checked, instead of manual settings. What happened occurred to be a successful clone, however three things:.
This is my first time with a branded laptop, and it is very frustrating working with the limited BIOS access. HP doesn't allow editing of the "legacy" boot order, so I have no access to tell it which drive to boot from first, which is a basic task in a custom build from raw parts in a typical MOBO BIOS.
Normally I'd clone the disk, restart the machine, change the boot order, and boom, done. Can't do that here. My first question here is whether the Samsung Evo actually supports 4K sectors - I suspect that it does not! If you have a partition manager application installed, such as MiniTool Partition Wizard, then use that to compare the partitions on the WD and Samsung drives. Windows disk management tends to 'hide' partitions in its views! Question 1: as you say, perhaps the Samsung does not support 4k sectors.
I did a quick search and didn't find anything, but I will do a more exhaustive search. Assuming it DOESN"T, then I'm not worried, as the performance is spec'd how it's spec'd, so supported sector size probably doesn't really matter in that case. I just want to make sure I'm getting the best spec'd performance form the drive.
Q3: I don't have a stand alone partition program at this time. Just using Disk Management. So you think that all those sub partitions might be there, and they're just not being "shown" by windows? That's fair. I had thought about that, that perhaps those sub partitions are only show for the active boot drive. That would make a good degree of sense. Another subtle clue as to which is the active boot drive and which is a secondary drive.
Q4: I have not yet. Again, normally with a custom desktop build, this would all be done while performing "open heart surgery", with the case open, until all things were as they wanted to be, then I'd button the PC back up again.
That's not as simple a task with a laptop. I was trying to avoid that step, but will take it if necessary. The one concern is that I hope that makes some type of "permanent" think Registry entry change in the active disk, because I want to keep the WD mechanical drive in the laptop for extra storage.
Unfortunately, as long as windows sees it and treats it as the active drive, I can't delete it. From within Windows at least. Jeff, you can download and install MiniTool Partition Wizard for free for non-commercial use.
I understand about laptops versus desktops in terms of ease of swapping drives etc. Hey Steve, thanks again. I downloaded and ran MiniTool Partition Wizard. Thank you for turning me onto that. Great little program. The drives look much more similar here. I have a lot of info to follow.
Feel free to pass over. Or read if interested. I just don't want to consume more of your time. Your contribution has been very much appreciated. It does show the "Recovery Partition" label on the two recovery partitions on both drives, so that's good. They both just say "Data Partition".
Maybe all those sub partitions get assigned to the active "Boot" drive. As such, I am holding off on swapping the drives until I get the sector size issue handled. I haven't gone into the UEFI BIOS since before, but I remember looking at every single possible option of which there are not many and not finding anyway to modify any parameters regarding the disks. Worst case scenario, I will open this machine back up, remove the WD drive, boot from the Samsung to make sure it works , then boot from some USB with tools to wipe the WD drive from there.
Hopefully I don't have to, but whatever. Better than agonizing over it though probably a useful "know how" bit. As for the sector size, I have opened a ticket with Samsung. All roads point to larger sector sizes, particularly 4K. This includes a page on Intel's website along with a downloadable tool and instructions to change the sector size specifically for their SSDs, pages on Microsoft's website, and several independent sites.
One resource--I believe Microsoft--goes so far as to say that with ever increasingly larger file sizes, sectors become problematic. Even Disk Manager allows formatting all the up to K!!! This verifies that the WD drive has logical sectors and 4k physical sectors and clusters. So we'll get this worked out before moving things, in case I have to start over again. Steve, you posted this once before in a different thread. I used the Acronis "Clone Disk" tool, because both drives were 1tb drives and I wasn't considering sector size.
It seemed the quick and easy way to do things, which it was. As such, because the WD "logical" sector size is , and the default Samsung logical sector size is , this would have been the only option available. So the bigger sequence then is, I would have to start over, change the logical and physical sector size of the Samsung drive, and then use Back Up and Restore to " Restore " the image to the new drive.
The Clone Disk tool will not work. I'm jsut assuming at this point that you can restore an image to a disk of any sector size. This is now directly an Acronis support issue, not drive manufacturer issue.
Because, if the source drive logical sector size is which it is , I might be hamstrung in my options. Authored on. Order Asc Desc.

Hello, Forgive me if this has been posted before. I am guessing that I will have to start over from scratch. That's fine. Thanks for any and all contribution.

Steve Smith, thank you so much for the contribution! Q2: UEFI for sure. Thanks again! MiniTool shows 5 versus 4 partitions. I found a cool command line command to verify this info: fsutil fsinfo ntfsinfo c: This verifies that the WD drive has logical sectors and 4k physical sectors and clusters.
