Topic Wiki

I figured that even this thread can have a wiki.
If your computer or phone is giving you issues:

• Please read this before posting: 4 Reasons Why IT People Ignore Your Requests for Help
• Restart the computer. Hopefully this will take care of any issues
• If your problem has not yet been solved, try to Google it. There may be a very simple solution
• On a Windows computer, a system restore may do the trick.
(This is a work in progress, please feel free to add whatever you may feel is helpful)


Please post whether or not the problem was fixed

I would like to upgrade from a HDD to a SDD, what is the best method to clone all the information I have on my hard drive onto my SDD?

Look for a HIPAA Compliant Email but not one that makes the receiver create an account. Any suggestions?

Crucial is a company that makes SSD's.  From the better ones.
Yes, he means a key to activate the acronis program mentioned above.
there are other free alternatives.  i've heard people use http://www.macrium.com/reflectfree.aspx and enjoy it
there is also clonezilla, etc

You may have issues with secure boot and uefi, those are simple bios changes

You may have those issues after attempting to start the computer after replacing hdd with ssd. If that comes up, post here for specific instructions. Generally, you go to bios setup, disable secure boot, and possible set up legacy/csm mode vs uefi
