Yes, exactly what I needed going from an SSD to m.2

This worked perfectly. I had to download the program somewhere else but it works. However, I think there is something important you forgot to mention: once you do the process and restart your PC, you absolutely need to install windows on that go. If you're planning to do what I was doing (checking that it works, go back to Windows, save my files and then install windows again), then you're "screwed" because even if you select to boot from the disc where you had windows installed (in my case it was a different drive. An SSD), it won't boot to windows; I'll take you to the windows installation process automatically. I said "screwed" in quote because you still can save your data with the Command Prompt. You just need to know how to navigate through it and you should be safe, but lost people don't know how to do that. Since I was not able to boot back to windows, what I did was get to the partitions (where I select which driver I'm going to install windows on), formatted and deleted the partition with the windows files (to see if maybe that way it'd allow me to boot to windows again), but no luck. It says there's no bootable device. I now have to wait until tomorrow because I don't have an USB drive to install windows right now.

@@tophat5481 you can borrow an USB drive from any of your friend. It just needs to be at least 8GB. Download the tool from the Microsoft website that allows you to download and install windows 10 in a USB drive or download the .iso file. Of course, you'll need another PC and internet connection to do that.

While on cmd - diskpart, i am stuck with an error message DiskPart> Active - The selected disk is not a fixed MBR disk. The ACTIVE command can only be used in a fixed MBR disks. Please guide what should i do to install windows from here.. i got a new SSD where i am trying to shift my windows.

I didn't understood what you just did with pressing f8. You didn't told us what you're about to do and we all have different devices. Good thing I got into the setup without pressing f8 or any other buttons. Still thankful for the first few steps.

You are the best! I cant belive it actually worked! I tried installing win 8 for like 2 weeks and now it actually happened

for me its showing The selected disk is not a fixed MBR disk. The ACTIVE command can only be used on fixed MBR disks. how to solve

I haven't DVD and my laptop is stoped please can you extract the windows and upload it in one folder? Please

Does this only work for MBR type disks? (The "active" command doesnt work because the disk is not a fixed MBR disk)

I used wincdemu to mount iso and extract that way, then copied contents to partition I made using aomei partition manager, that I set as primary drive. My question is in there there's an option to set drives as active within aomei partition manager, could I use that after using bcd 2.3 to point to boot.wim as add entry? Or should I just stick to the CMD prompt method?

This guy: Without a flash drive: two ways one of them with a flashdrive

Sir When I type the command select volume 3 and the type the command it shows there is no partition selected Please select a partition and try again Sir plz help my pc is not starting now please I beg you sir

Thanks for this video, Adams. I can't use EasyBCD 2.3, it closes a few seconds later after it has been started. I can use the 2.2 version, but it doesn't work for windows 10, any alternative for EasyBCD?

Have you download windows 10 iso file from official microsoft media creation tool?

I have made a bootable pendrive...can i transfer from the pendrive to the disk D

Thank you so much bro!😍 At first I thought it would not work this way but when I try it works. If anyone watches this video and thinks this is not going to work I can say responsibly that this method works 100%💪💪

Pc shows the volume type is (simple ) in cmd promet What should i do??

Thanks mate u made up my day u just got a new subscriber

So when building a new PC I don't need the CD drive. Using this way I can use my windows 10 license key to make the iso legal?

Hey how about my programs? Apps? It'll be gone? Need to set it up again?

i didn't get that why you just disconnect dvd drive ? should we do that too?

So you need MBR to "install" as a boot, and you need GPT to install windows... So you cannot do both on the same disk? I only have one drive. Can't I do this at all?

My drive is not select. its show : virtual disk service error
