Posted December 12, 2020 Please read this carefully (I'm Dutch so I might have a weird way of describing some things.) Thanks in advance! I recently built myself a new NAS Server pc. I bought a secondhand pc from a friend, for parts. (Current NAS specs below) The pc had an old Windows account on it, but after some issues I managed to install fresh Win10Pro on the 256GB SSD. From there I got the 128GB SSD to work, so I have put Win10Pro on the 128GB SSD. After that I removed the 256GB SSD so I could use it in something else later on. I wanted to boot the pc again, but I got the Windows "boot device not found, insert bootable USB". I already knew what was up, the UEFI was still on the 256GB SSD which I removed. I put the 256SSD back, and it booted again. Now my question is: How do I get the UEFI from the 256GB to the 128GB SSD, without reinstalling everything (I have already setup up until the Ubuntu part) NAS specs: i5 4690 8GB Adata RAM 1TB HDD 128GB SK Hynix SSD (for Windows 10 Pro (with Hyper-V -> Ubuntu VM running Nextcloud) 256GB Crucial MX100 SSD (currently has the UEFI on it, UEFI has to be moved to the 128GB SSD) ASRock B85M Pro4 bequiet!

Posted December 12, 2020 Can you shrink the partition table, and then copy the EFI partition over to the other dirve. Id really suggest just doing a reinstall though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id really suggest just doing a reinstall though. Is it possible to make a backup of the VM in Hyper-V? Just so I don't have to do everything over again?

Or use software like veeam for backups? Id setup a good backup system before messing with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will just reinstall windows, it will probably save me from a lot of trouble in the future.
