You're looking to transfer your SanDisk ultra II SSD to your PS4 by reformatting it. This process will erase all data on the drive, so ensure you back up any important files first. When you try to reinstall Windows using a key that's still registered, it may fail or require a re-registration process.
You're using the key in a way that's not allowed, yet it sometimes functions. To fix the Sandisk, open 'This PC', right-click the drive and select 'Format'. Then apply a media creation tool to install Windows.
You could explore legal ways to reformat the disc, such as using built-in system tools or third-party software that supports OS updates.
I went through numerous attempts and adjustments to configure a dual drive configuration on my laptop. Based on what I learned from this process, here are the instructions modified for a single drive setup. Follow these steps carefully:
1. Gather necessary items: 1x SSD/HDD, 1x SATA to USB cable [for laptop/desktop], OR a drive caddy matching your DVD drive size (9.5mm or 12.7mm), OR a SATA cable [for desktop].
2. Obtain the Windows 10 installation media from the provided link.
3. Launch the Media Creation Tool and select "Create installation media for another PC."
4. Adjust settings to match your exact Windows version (pay attention to bit type).
5. Select the USB Flash Drive option and locate your USB drive in the available list.
6. Allow the files to download onto the USB drive (took over 3 hours at 1 Mb/s).
7. Rename the USB drive and update its icon to reflect it's now a bootable USB.
8. Remove the USB drive and securely back up any files you need outside of your computer, including the USB drive itself.
9. Navigate to Power Options, select what power buttons do, change unavailable settings, and uncheck "Fast Startup."
10. Power off your computer and disconnect all drives. Connect the new SSD.
11. Insert the USB flash drive into your PC.
12. Set up your language, time, and keyboard preferences. Click "Install Now" on the next screen.
13. Accept the terms and choose "Custom: Install Windows only (advanced)."
14. Remove any partitions on the SSD and continue.
15. Once complete, insert your older drive and remove any files (Documents, Pictures, Music, etc., except programs) you wish to transfer from the old SSD into the new one.
16. Disconnect the old SSD and finish the setup.
Remember, proceed with caution when handling drives and ensure your system is stable before booting up.
It’s recommended to reinstall Windows onto your new SSD and transfer only essential files from the old one. Programs and apps won’t function on the new drive unless you move them. Just important items like photos, documents, and music should be transferred. Also, let me know which Windows version you’re running.
You can duplicate your storage without having to reinstall or adjust Windows that way http://www.howtogeek.com/199068/how-to-u...r-an-hour/
