best way to do windows install ?

[Harry Nyce]

You should be able to download and create a USB flash drive from your current setup and then use that media to install to the new SSD.  Here’s what Microsoft has to say about it:  https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10/

Please let us know any questions if you have trouble creating the installation media.  Windows 10 is actually pretty decent at automatically activation after hardware has been upgraded.

Is there on option in the Bios to be able to boot off the USB? It only gives 2 options under boot priorities. The first option is to boot directly off the SSD and the other UEFI: Built-in EFI shell.

You can go thru updates & security menu within Windows 10 –> Recovery –> Advanced startup –>Use a device. However if you cannot boot into Windows then this will not help.

you need to go into BIOS to the advanced section and open CSM configuration. If it is disabled you need to enable it by pressing the – sign. Then go down to the  Boot option filter and change it from UEFI to Uefi and Legacy. This will give you access to legacy bootable drives too.  You can only boot off usb from the SAVE & EXIT page in BIOS.  Good Luck!

Thanks, that did the trick.

Is it required to install all of the drivers after reloading Windows?  I am referring to the one from this site.  I have not installed any of the drivers yet and my only issue is that neither of my styluses work.

Windows somehow installs the wrong stylus drivers, at least it did for me. You should google for the Wacom feel drivers, my phone somehow does not allow me to paste the link.

Besides this, you should uninstall the old drivers; which can be done by right clicking on my computer and select manage, navigate to the devices tab and search under HID/input devices for a device with an exclamation or question mark near it. You can uninstall it by right clicking it and pressing uninstall. Also select the option to delete the drivers.

It could be that some things are called slightly different; I have the dutch version of Windows

I uninstalled the existing driver.  Download the Wacom Feel driver and I tried installing ISD_DualTouch_7.3.4-25.  However it say a supported tablet was not found.

I went ahead and tried installing the drivers from the website HID class folder.  When I try opening the Wacom app it errors with the message “driver not running”.  So I tried installing the Wacom Feel drivers again and now it works.  However my pen from my  Surface Pro 3 does not work but not a big deal.

The Surface 3 pen is an N-Trig stylus, not compatible with the Wacom EMF digitizer on the Cube i7
