The Asus Backtracker restore will blow away any partitions it sees on drives it sees in the 2 drive bays, so if you want to preserve the data on the Bay 2 drive, pull it before the restore and put it back in afterwards. The Windows license is built into the laptop, so you can go ahead and either clone the original drive, or if you haven't done much configuration, or like to do it again cleanly, you can use Asus Backtracker to make a USB 3.0 16GB backup of the OS, and then use that to restore to your new SSD. So how should i proceed to do the process good as possible? I don't care to buy windows 8.1 pro for my laptop and start fresh but if i have OEM license so i better stick with it. My specific model (the only one that avalible in israel) have only 1 SSD. you might want to pull the bottom panel and look into bay 1 to see what you have. The 2 x 128GB's in my JH are also Sandisk SSD's. If your JZ has the NGFF adapter in bay 1 you won't be able to swap out with a 2.5" Samsung 840 Pro. I think the JZ comes in 2 models, one with 2 NGFF SSD's in RAID0 and one with only 1 SSD - but I don't know if it is an NGFF drive or a 2.5" drive. I use Macrium Reflect for cloning, it also lets you resize the partitions.Īnother thought, my JH has a special adapter in Bay 1, with 2 NGFF SSD's in RAID0 - you can't remove that adapter to put in a 2.5" drive. If you go the Backtracker restore route, do the backup onto a 16GB USB 3.0 flash drive - not a USB 2.0 - it's too darned slowīefore doing the restore to the new SSD, make sure you pull all the other drives out of the laptop, as Backtracker restore will blow both drives away and recreate the partitions to OEM spec before restoring the OS drive.
G4JC10 DISK LED REPLACEMENT SERIAL
It will boot fine, and your Windows serial isn't a problem. When you clone the old drive to the new drive put the new drive in Bay 2 to clone, then the old drive before booting - swap the new drive into bay 1 where the old drive was. Local asus support in israel is pretty bad with tech support for ROG laptops. How can i replace the SSD and keep my windows 8 code?
G4JC10 DISK LED REPLACEMENT HOW TO
I know how to do it (did this multiple times before) BUT i don't want to lose my Windows 8 code as the serial i heard built in into the bios or something like that? Just got my new G750JZ and i want to replace the SanDisk SSD with Samsung 840 Pro SSD.
