HP Recommended

I have an HP Omen 880 with 256GB M.2 SSD boot drive, this drive is now too small and i want to upgrade it to 1TB M.2.

I have Cloned the existing drive to 1 Crucial 1TB drive, but when i installed it it failed to boot. With 3 Beeps from diagnostics.

 

I assume the problem may be Secure Boot which is enabled in the BIOS. But on selecting the option to amend this

i get a warning message saying that Secure Boot is for Windows 8 Only, and disabling it may cause any other OS not to boot.

 

Am i right in thinking the issue is with Secure Boot, and will i be able to boot back into Windows 10 if i disable it in BIOS.

 

Edit

Turns out Secure boot was NOT the problem at all, just needed to be more pedantic in cloning the original SSD, once i clone all partitions, mirroring their orginal sizes, AND expanded the C:/ partition to use up the new SSD, it did boot ok.

Strangely though on first boot, all of my desktop icons had disappeared, just displayed as default folder icon, after couple of restarts this sorted itself out??
