HI,
Recently I took the 2.5" SSD off from my Windows notebook, formatted it and installed MACOSX to use it on. a Mac temporarily.
Some time later I bought a NVMe M.2 SSD to upgrade the MAC and a M.2 SSD to upgrade the Windows notebook.
As the Windows notebook accepts two 2.5" SATA SSDs, I thought i could include both the original 2.5" SSD and the new M.2 SSD with an adapter to fit it in the 2.5" SDD bay.
When I initially took off the 2.5" SSD from my notebook I did a copy and paste of the hole windows file structure that came pre installed with the notebook to a backup drive I have,
I now want to use all this Windows backup file structure in the Windows notebook again in order to boot the notebook as i used but do not know how i can do it?
All I can read in the internet are tutorials to install new Windows OS but what i want is to use the Windows OS file structure that is copied in the file structure I have in the backup drive.
I also do not know if its best to use M.2 128GB as startup system or the original 2.5 SSD 240GB. It seems to me that the M.2 SSD is faster that the 2.5" SDD.
What can I do?
