HDD to SDD replacement, problems with updates after install
crwdns2934249:0crwdne2934249:0:
I had my HDD or cached drive fail in my surface pro, not sure which, but it basically complained about bad blocks and wouldn’t run. So i figured i would do the SSD replacements detailed here and on http://cesardelatorre.azurewebsites.net/post/upgrading-the-surface-studio-drives-to-a-sata-ssd-2tb-and-a-m-2-nvme-ssd-1tb.
I appreciate all the writeups on this, made it a lot easier to get done.
Everything went fine, hardware wise. Drives both replaced, and both visible to windows install, and no smoke.
I CAN install windows, however when I try to update the iastora Raid driver, I either get a bluescreen, or it hangs on reboot, and never comes back. Same happens when I try to run the latest Surface studio driver pack, it just hangs at boot, where the dots circle.
I posted a bit more detail on microsoft site, but it doesn’t look like they support this.

Has anyone tried this recently, or maybe has some ideas on getting the drivers setup right?
Thank you,
Jim
