    replacing hard drive

    I am trying to replace my win10 80G hard drive with 300G drive.

    I cloned the drive except that I increased the partition size from 80G to 300G.

    When I boot the new drive, I get the following.

     

    RECOVERY

    Your PC/Device needs to be repaired.

    A required device isn’t connected or can’t be accessed.

    Error code 0x000000e

    Press F8 for Startup Setting

    When I press F8 I get:

    The application or OS couldn’t be loaded because a required file is missing or contains errors:

    File: Windows\system32\winload.exe

     

    I ran Spinrite on the drive and it is all good.

    What is going wrong?

    Is there a more reliable way to replace drives?

    Any advice here will be appreciated.

    win 10 network/ethernet problem

    I have an old win xp pc with a DAVICOM network adapter connected to a Pace 4111N gateway using Ethernet cable. That setup works fine.

    I also have a win 10 Dell desktop pc with a Broadcom NetXtreme 57xx Gigabit Controller. When I move that Ethernet cable to my Dell desktop pc it takes minutes to open a web page and most of the time I get “server not found”. Win 10 says that I have an internet connection, the diagnostics say no problem found, the device manager says the device is working properly and the router shows a connection to the pc. Any ideas on this? Thanks
