    Solved transfer the OS from HDD to new SSD

    I must have explained it wrong. if there's only the SSD in the laptop (hdd removed), the computer wont boot, just goes to BIOS. if both are in, the computer boot and the SSD 'works' .. as in, its there and I can use it, its just that it doesn't have windows 8.1 on it, even tho I cloned it

    Solved transfer the OS from HDD to new SSD

    i cloned it. then switched the HDD and SSD in each other slots. it works when i open the computer but it seems my HDD is still the ''main system''. on the computer page, there is a windows sign on the HDD, as in this is windows (i guess). and when i want to do a backup, they tell me the location...
