Lenovo Notebook NVMe SSD clone to SATA
Hello Everyone!
I have a Lenovo t460s with a Toshiba NVMe Drive that's too small, I got a SanDisk SATA SSD with 512GB I want to upgrade to. Both are of course M.2 2280. They both fit and get recognized by the Notebook, but after cloning the NVMe SSD to the new SATA one, I always get bluescreens. (I think 0x000007B, says something about doing a chkdsk and removing added harddrives)
Do I need to order a NVMe SSD to make it work?
cheers!

I"d also recommend following the clone procedures in the link above.
That said, going from PCIE to SATA is not really a true "clone" scenario since the hard drive interface is changing. I suspect you need to boot to safemode first (F8 on some systems - on others, you have to let it error 3 times in a row and then you'll be given the f8 option to boot into safemode). If you can get to safemode, hopefully Windows will take care of the Driver / SATA change on it's own (it should if using Windows 10 - if using Windows 7 - maybe not)
