SSD and Problems with Start Button
I installed a new Samsung 850 EVO 500 GB SSD and just copied the info from
my 1 TB HDD to it with the included software. Only had around 200Gb to transfer and I believe the process automatically didn't copy some files like that in Virtual Memory , etc. Took around 45 min. I did do a cleanup and defrag BEFORE I installed the SSD. After I did the copy, I shut down and disconnected my HDD and it booted right up from the SSD which is connected to a SATA 2 port, just like it was when I did the transfer. Bootup time is dramatically decreased. I was impressed. But, in the last few days, sometimes the Start button will not work (left or rt click) nor the search magnifying glass. If I reboot, sometimes it starts working again. If I then try a total shutdown, it seems to work. I did the upgrade from Windows 7 HE 64 bit to Windows 10 64 bit and it went well. I did this last year. Any ideas? Is something getting bypassed due to the increased speed of the bootup? Is this a fairly common problem when switching to a SSD? Perhaps I should just erase the SSD and do a fresh install of Windows 10 from an ISO obtained online. Will MS recognize my new Windonw 10 install ? What will I need to have to ensure that MS will recognize it? Remember, I did an upgrade over the Win 7 OS. Any hints on making it simpler and easier and faster? Thanks, Buffalo |
