Old drive (seagate) still shows up after cloning and upgrading to Crucial SSD
It appears to be the 'friendly name' under device manager/driver that still says it is the old seagate clunker...
Do I really need to fix my registry by hand??
BIOS see it as Crucial. Everything works except device manager reports it as ST1000LM035-1RK172 and not the correct Crucial CT500MX500

Robert, welcome to these public User Forums.
The only suggestion I can offer is to go into Device Manager and take the option to delete the Seagate entry then restart the PC and let it be rediscovered as new hardware which should resolve the issue.
It is recommended to make a full disk backup before making any changes.

While pondering, I moved on to the next unit...
I then recalled I had 8 'essentially' identical units to upgrade to SSD. The other ones I had done before, did NOT exhibit the behavior; Windows reported and still reports the correct/new/Crucial drive. I then discovered this unit had an unrelated Windows Update issue and its Win 10 was 'rebuilt/restored' to some extent after the cloning/SSD [and the seagate info in that registry entry 'restored']. Rather than take a trip down that rabbit-hole, I punted and just changed the registry for now...
Acronis does not seem to be implicated after all...
Will try Steve's trick if I see a recurrence. Sounds like that would work, though. Clever.
