Moving Bootloader from HDD to New SSD With Fresh W7 Install
I recently installed a new SSD and installed windows 7 on it, with the hope of then formatting my current primary drive, however, i neglected to think about the current location of the bootloader, which is on said primary drive. I have created a 100MB space for it on the new SSD, and a suggested method i found online was copy the /boot directory to the SSD and do bcdedit /export X:\boot\bcd.
While CMD confirmed successful operation, i see no evidence that it worked, has this done anything to the new install of windows? also, what is a better way for me to transfer the bootloader to the new drive?
EDIT: i have a UEFI BIOS, so will i need to create an EFI bootloader space?
Thanks
