Windows 10: Swap 512 SSD with 1TB SSD, HP zbook, unable to install Windows 11 via USB

I bought a hp zbook firefly G8 with 512GB SSD, I changed swapped the 512 SSD with a 1 TB SSD WD. Next I installed Ubuntu, and left a partition of 250GB for installing Windows 11.I created with the microsoft media creation tool as an administrator an installation USB drive for windows 11. The zbook has TPM 2.0 enabled and secure boot is available and disabled. Be aware the Laptop has no Windows at all, so the regular tools of windows will not do the job, there is only place for one SSD.The USB is recognized BIOS and the order is USB first.Unfortunaly the USB will not start at all. Ubunt

Transfer OS from 512 to 1tb SSD

I'm in the process of building a new rig. I would like to transfer the OS from my current 512 SSD to a 1tb SSD. My Os is already linked to my MS account and I printed out the steps about using the troubleshooter after a significant hardware change. The Question is: Can I clone the 512 to the 1tb or does it require a clean install? OS is Win 10 Pro.

 

Transfer OS from 512 to 1tb SSD

Windows 10 is very good at resolving drivers on new hardware. You could just clone old drive to new drive and try it.

If it does not work, put new drive in old pc and use sysprep to remove hardware drivers.

HP laptop does not see the driver for the SSD

Good afternoon I purchased an all-in-one HP Single Langwich, then I decided to reinstall Windows 11 on it in order to install my language. I downloaded it to USB from the official Windows OS website, and also downloaded the driver for the SSD by serial number from the official HP website. When installing a new Windows, it requires you to choose where to install Windows, but the fact is that the SSD is not displayed for me, that is, there is no disk, going to the USB flash drive where I previously downloaded the driver for the SSD, it is not visible. I also tried to download this driver to the SSD itself in the folder (C and tried to go to this folder with the driver when installing Windows, and it also does not see this driver. Also, before installation, Windows installed this driver, which means it launched the .exe file, but still it does not see the SSD. The PC itself says that driver updates are not required. The SSD disk itself is visible in normal mode, that is, I can go to it, but when installing Windows, at the step of selecting a disk for installation, it is not visible.
