Nvme new disk - clone SSD in legacy BIOS mode

chabsey

So I've bought a new nvme disk, installed and prepped it to become my new boot drive. Migrating from an SSD that apparently is configured as LEGACY in the BIOS rather than UEFI.

Am I snookered or is there a way of cloning my SSD to the new Nvme drive?

You have two choices, change the boot process to legacy or clean install in UEFI mode.

I'd recommend clean install.

Wasn't aware of this.
Worth a shot.

All sorted thanks, wasn't exactly straightforward but working now.
