hello i’m new to the teclast forum and I’m also planning on picking up either the teclast f6 or f5 which is on presale at the moment. My question is about the ssd used to boot windows 10 if you replace the stock ssd did you also have to clone win10 to your new ssd. thanks again.

I bought a WD 2TB SSD, M2 2280 size. I also got a “ribbon” extender, with the intention of mounting the SSD inside the laptop right beneath the SSD slot. Unfortunately it didn’t go to plan. The SSD fits in the  space perfectly, however the ribbon connector is taller than the laptop!

If you wanted to replace the internal SSD then you’d need to either:
1. Get an external enclosure for the new SSD, then use some disk cloning software to copy the contents of the 128GB SSD onto your new SSD via the external enclosure.
2. Download and burn a Windows installation media to USB drive, fit the new SSD, then run a fresh install of Windows onto your new SSD.

I have resorted to using a good quality external SSD enclosure, and a short (10cm) shielded USB cable to avoid the “USB 3 noise” problem that kills WiFi. Pics attached. It’s not very noticeable and quite practical.

Ok, first: did you remember that I’ve incorrectly done the heatsink mod? Ok, so, I re-opened the lid, made the right correction to the heatsink, screw back everything aaaaaaaand…. TA-DAAAA!!!! When Booting win10 gave me a critical error message code 0x0000000e which is a system32 file missing!!! $h!t!! So, deep in the particulars, after two of three hours of immersive blog and MS troubleshoot Q/A, the story is actually trivial tho: this kind of message is received only by drivers which have a dual live boot seen only by win boot manager and not by the BIOS, i.e. 1 fisical hard drive partitioned in 2 with 2 working versions of win 10! So, my two drives (physically separated) are seen as one! The bad thing was that I was able to properly boot only once on a while, attempting to boot several times. Fortunately, I was able to recover the original version of win10 on the eMMC, but now I can’t boot in the SSD. I have an idea, in the boot options in the BIOS I can see only the Windows Boot Manager and the UEFI Shell, but I can’t see the name of the drives, so, in my opinion, the BIOS is part of the eMMC, and if I want to boot directly from the SSD I NEED to clone the eMMC to the SSD (and that’s what I don’t want to do!). Maybe, cloning the entire eMMC to the SSD will clone also the hidden partitions that made the boot possible, so MAYBE once cloned in the SSD, I can install win10 from zero in the SSD without formatting the hidden partitions. I’ll do this in very short time.

Second: my SSD cost only 35$, so I can immagine that the performance aren’t the same for a 100$ or more SSD, CDM gave me a result that is only doubled the speed of the eMMC in write, in read is like 5 times more.

Third: my wifi card. First month I haven’t any kind of problem, now, it’s a pain in the A$5!!! I think it’s a mounting problem, maybe I’ve tightened the screws too hard and the lid is blocking the signal.

Fourth: Battery drain. My EzBook is suffering of battery drainage even if it’s switch off, or maybe it’s only my hysteria. Also, the battery has some hours of usage left. I’m start to think maybe it’s due to the SSD which is still there in place and is detected by win in the task manager.

But there’re some pros: The display is really a joy to watch, the mouse pad is really accurate.

I’ve spent around 250$ for everything (including the SSD, thermal paste and pads, copper pad, teflon and silver tapes and an expansion bay 6 in 1 for the lan). This PC is only a tryout to see if these ultrabooks could be a good thing for my productivity, and it’s a BIG YES!!!

 

Why do you think the SSD would be draining the battery?

 

I’m very interested cause mine also loses power while off

evo 860 works perfect. the bios detects the ssd and cloning windows you can disable the emmc. I have the bios 6/11/17 blocked and boot from ssd. if you restart the laptop it takes 31 seconds to load windows from ssd and emmc. If you turn the sd on and off, it takes 10 seconds less to start. in normal use there does not seem to be much difference in speed in the system. the speeds of the ssd in CrystalDiskMark 6 are correct. I do not know if it’s worth putting an SSD, depending on the cost of the SSD.

Just to confirm, you didn’t flash the bios, correct?

I wonder what the point of actually flashing the bios is, if you can use the SSD without flashing it

Yes EZBook 3 Pro V4 has no problem cloning or installing ssd it is V6 what makes problem

 

Fuck, I just ordered a EZBook 3 Pro from Gearbest so it’s probably going to be the latest version (V6?) and I was REALLY hoping to put Windows on a new SSD. Will this be possible?

Also what is the best recommended 128GB or 256GB drive to put in?

 

thanks Chupa <3

JFTR: I had good success (EZBook 3 Pro V4) with a Transcend MTS400S 256 2242 M.2 SSD (TS256GMTS400S). Also cloning with the Transcend software worked fine, basically a one-click installation. I use it since February now, no issues.

I can’t understand you

The 3 of us have done everything

Clone the SSD or installed windows from the beginning or. . or..  or..

The BIOS can’t recognize the KingSpec SSD disk most of the time

It is bios problem or faulty SSD or AHCI / UEFI incompatibility

Do NOT argue with us

5. BIOS V6 Date 12/05/2017 Unlocked version from techtablets
6. updated before cloning to the m.2
7. Kingspec 128GB M.2.
8. It’s not an probleem in Windows, Just it don’t stay on first bootsequence in the bios

Dear rajko,

 

This is exactly what I used for cloning.

I restarted again and the SSD is gone, can not be detected anymore.

I reboot again and it is back and can be used (all files available)

Still I could not see it in the bios so far (never)

 

I suppose it is not an issue from the cloning software but from the bios or drivers.

 

Kind of frustrating,

 

Best regards,

[rajko]

That program you have for cloning, probably something is wrong. uninstall and download this program in free version, and try it with it: https://www.macrium.com/reflectfree

Hi there,

 

I was partially sucessful with cloning but diskpart did not help me that much. I tried it earlier without sucess.

My issue was the AHCI driver (Windows from 2006) which screwed things up.

I updated to the this version from Fernando https://www.win-raid.com/t3225f23-Intel-Apollo-Lake-N-SoC-AHCI-RST.html and was able to format afterwards with the disk manager. Furthermore the cloning worked well, took 16min instead of 5 hours and the SSD works well.

 

Now I have a second issue and I need your support again.

I tried to change the boot sequence in my bios (locked version) but it seems the SSD is not detected by the Bios (at least I can not select it at all)

Any idea how I can change the boot sequence from EMMC to the SSD because this was my main idea to improve performance of this little, cheap and nice machine.

 

best regards,

If what you’ve done is quite OK, now with the help of the cloning program, access the cloning, and after the cloning has ended, follow my instructions from the previous post.
