A big thanks Paul. Absolutely fabulous. From knowing nothing to getting the parts ordered and installed, it took about a week. So easy to do with your video / instructions. Thank you.
Great video thanks. Borrowing the cd drive sata cable was a great tip for me. I upgraded my optiplex 7010 hard drive to a ssd with your instructions and it went well. Did the clone and it fired right back up way faster. Def recommend
Thanks!! My 9010 optiplex had 2 power connections for a secondary sata ssd but it kept glitching having 2 sata installed (og was 250 new is 500) I used the dvds power connection for the second sata and no issues
This is very clear, but on restarting the 7010 with the cloned disk in place I get the power button flashing twice orange, then three times orange, then repeats. The machine won't boot up. Any idea what this could mean please? I've tried putting the old hard disk back in but still get the same thing.
@majelete331 I removed the DVD drive and installed a ssd 2.5 w a bracket they sale online that fits perfect in that compartment . Highly recommend to any one looks nice too
I've followed the steps, swapped hard drives and now it keeps coming to the Intel boot agent over and over. What has gone wrong? I did everything successfully
You would have to fresh install on to a new SSD, and then see if you can salvage any of the data from your existing hard drive afterwards. Do you know how to fresh install? Do you have another computer you can use to make a Windows boot USB?
I just ordered this ssd and the bracket. I'm not worried about saving any files from the old hard drive. I had already backed up any files I wanted to save.

Thanks so much! Really kind of you!
just what i needed right now and it's the exactly same type of machine I'm trying to upgrade.

Could you provide a link to the bracket you used
please and thank you

Brilliant video to able for getting to the point
Can you pls do a video of replacing the M.2 2280 SSD?
Do you mean you can unplug the power cable and sata cable from DVD drive and temporarily use it for the new SSD for cloning system?
Yes, exactly.
Thank you ! Just bought the same machine, and I'm going to change CPU, HDD and add more memory.
Then don’t miss out on my NVMe video for the 7010 also! That will give you a great performance boost.
Yeah, I already had your site in my bookmarks ;)
But I don't plan to add NVMe in that machine : HDD/SSD with a W10 Lite will do the job => HCPC.
Could you put two SSDs in that machine (7010 SFF)?
what type of pcie slot ? X?
Fantastic, well done, THANK YOU.

I've tried putting the old hard disk back in but still get the same thing.
In fact it was the 2 new RAM cards I inserted at the same time which caused the problem. Sorry for the false alarm...
Hi,
Thank you for posting this video.
I followed all the steps but the
PC won’t boot using de SSD. Do you have any recommendation on what to do?
Managed to fix this? I am thinking about getting an SSD and a bracket and then follow these instructions.
check BIOS settings perhaps?
The best tutorial Can you Next Time make a case swap😅
Where do I get that mounting bracket?
does this transfer and clone the os also to the sdd? also is macrium reflect still free? i heard it's not free anymore.
I'm wondering if you can keep the ssd and the hard drive and removing the DVD player and if is a good idea and why not
I don’t think it’s an issue, he talked about it in his blogpost in the description
@slade8863 yes is not a problem .came out good
@@jrocket93how did you do it ?
@majelete331 I removed the DVD drive and installed a ssd 2.5 w a bracket they sale online that fits perfect in that compartment . Highly recommend to any one looks nice too
it says pc needs to be recovered. fix?
Parece que va muy rápido y fluido con Windows... ¡Qué maravilla!

I know this is five minutes late but did you make sure your windows installation is formatted properly?
@@KenJ71 it should have been but I gave up on my optiplex and ended up building a custom mid tower instead
The old mecanic disc is 2.5 or 3.5"?
3.5
How would i go about doing this without cloning, my hard drive isnt working properly.
You would have to fresh install on to a new SSD, and then see if you can salvage any of the data from your existing hard drive afterwards. Do you know how to fresh install? Do you have another computer you can use to make a Windows boot USB?
I do have another computer. I put the Windows 10 download fileonto a USB drive. But not sure what to do after that.
I just ordered this ssd and the bracket. I'm not worried about saving any files from the old hard drive. I had already backed up any files I wanted to save.
@@nicolecooper6896 you might also consider upgrading to an nvme ssd according to my other guide. Much faster than a regular ssd
@PaulieM I'll look into that too! Thank you!
