NOT a Tech Tutorial | Failed on Cloning a Dell Latitude E6230 Hard Drive

Hey, everyone!

On the last video I was able to demonstrate on how to use the Restore and Backup feature in Windows 10 to clone and image a drive from one hard drive to another.

Now that the small SSD is free from the system we're building I can now put it into this small laptop which I like to take with me when I go on trips. The laptop is very portable and doesn't weigh too much. Everything runs great on it except the speed of the current mechanical hard drive.

I tried to use the same method to clone the drive as I did in the prior video but it failed. Kept getting a couple of erros when trying to place the image of the disk onto the new hard drive. After a handful of attempts I decided to give up troubleshooting. It was getting real late and wanted to go to bed. A fresh install of Windows 10 was put in and went through the tredious process of installing the updates. At least it's running great and super fast (for the type of system it is)!

The following hardware was necessary for this task:
Crucial M500 240GB SSD (CT240M500SSD1)
WD Scorpio Black 2.5" 250GB HDD (WD2500BEKT)
Sabrent USB 3.0 to SSD / 2.5-Inch SATA I/II/IIIHard Drive Adapter (EC-SSHD) https://amzn.to/2CR51ED
Bootable USB Drive with Windows 10
Screwdriver

The Windows 10 ISO and ability to create a bootable USB drive with the Windows 10 installation can be downloaded from Microsoft's website:

Quick Update / Edit:
During our attempt to migrate from the 240GB SSD to the new 500GB SSD on the new system build we've encountered an error when trying to restore the image onto the new drive. The error was: "Error details: A data disk is currently set as active in BIOS...". Tried formatting in Windows as a secondary drive (both quick format at regular format), tried swapping different SATA cables, checked BIOS settings. Nothing worked until running DiskPart and then "clean"-ing the disk drive. This worked and the image was successfully loaded onto the new 500GB SSD. Hope this helps some of you who may run into this issue.

Dell Latitude E6230 | Adding An Internal Bluetooth Module

Hey, everyone!

Bought a refurbished Dell Latitude E6230. It did NOT come with an internal Bluetooth module and I would like to use my Bluetooth mouse with it for when going on trips. I thought about getting an external USB Bluetooth dongle but I prefer not to have anything sticking out of the side of the laptop. That's how ports can get damaged.

Bought one off of eBay. It arrived, it didn't work. Bought another one and this is the one we'll be seeing in this video.

If you're expecting a quick tutorial then this may not be the video for you. It's a long one showing my experience of installing this component. Grab yourself a cup of coffee or drink of your choice and enjoy!
