Windows 10, Samsung laptop.
I am getting the SMART error on boot up with the Press F! to continue option.
I press F1 and Windows starts up but slowly. Everything seems to work ok and the Windows Disk Checker returns no errors, and the HDD has been defragmented.
I have tried several times to migrate the HDD contents to a new Samsung SSD using the Samsung migration tool. However when I put the SSD into the laptop I get the Windows 4 squares logo for about 20 secs, then the circling dots then blank screen then nothing. Have left laptop on for 45 minutes to see if Windows would start up.
The SSD works ok as I tried it on my other laptop (migrated from that laptop) and no problems.
Hope someone much more experienced than me can help.
