first when I tried booting into Win 10 on the new ssd drive I would get the blue screen of death " sorry there's a problem stopping Windows from loading" or something to that effect. I also followed his advice as far as creating a backup of Win 10 and then restoring the backup onto the new ssd drive as opposed to say a straightforward disk clone. there's a guy named Steve on the Acornis forums who gives excellent advice as far as not doing this directly in Windows. I used the Acronis bootable media (check your Acronis program under tools it will walk you through how to make this), the one I burned onto a DVD (I think it fits onto a CD too, I realize most people would just boot from a usb drive nowadays instead and you can do that too). I've been using Acronis True Image 2016 forever without a problem so I figured it would work without any issues here too. I got myself a new, bigger (higher capacity, 1 TB) SSD drive (Crucial MX 500 model) for Christmas to put Win 10 on, so that would replace my old ssd drive Win 10 was on. Windows 8.1 is the installation that Acronis True Image 2016 is installed on, so I use that for backups of both Win 8 and Win 10 onto yet another sata hard drive (that one isn't a SSD drive though). So I have Windows 8.1 on one SSD drive, Windows 10 on a second SSD drive, and I get the usual blue screen asking which Windows installation I want to run when I turn on my desktop computer. note that you're looking for the word "system" instead of "system and maintenance" at one point in the instructions for Win 8 anyways) (in that link above scroll down to "create a restore point". and while you're at it back up that registry for both Win 8 and Win 10 onto a usb thumb drive, that would have saved me a world of grief too set a System Restore point on both Win 8 and Win 10 (or whatever two flavors of Windows you are running), this is what saved me later on. Here's some advice for people like me who are stupid so you don't have to spend 10 hours in a row wrestling with this the way I did
