I did all that but then both my Windows 10 recovery drive and an apparently successful Unbuntu 24.04 installation failed to boot. Tried the diagnostics without issue. Some time into the Windows install it reports an error then barfs. The Windows diagnostics failed to locate any issue. Not helpful.

Guessing, given the usual multiple reboots on installing Windows the new hard drive will not allow itself to reboot. Currently I am bit stuffed.

Thanks for the useful detail above.

I am here because a) my current Windows10 is in some way toxic and will no longer update itself, b) my hard drive is nearly full, c) I now use Ubuntu in preference to Win10.

Update: I have resorted to cloning the original drive to a new WD 1Tb SSD using a utility I found on the Western Digital site. I used the Windows10 recovery USB I made earlier. Top Tip: Always have a Windows 10/11 Recovery Drive.

The newly cloned drive booted the cloned toxic Win10. I then plugged in my Recovery Drive and restarted. The thing barfed as before. I am guessing that there is some secured book lock that is perhaps tied to the old drive and any attempt to recover Windows fails.

Currently I have a non-booting HP Elitebook 8470p. I am hacked off with Windows10. Its far too slow for the first hour from boot because, and on two systems, its thrashing the hard drive for an hour. As this new drive is now stuffed will re-clone and install Unbuntu 24.04. I suspect the magic feature will prevent this.

And finally ... Having had some success using the clone of the original drive followed by three failures to re-install Windows10 over the top (remember the original Win10 was refusing to update any more) from created Rescue USBs and a successful install of Ubuntu24.04 followed then by a total failure to find any bootable image on restart I found this site:

https://askubuntu.com/questions/1323124/...

Repeated as a link here : Link to Ask Ubuntu

This suggested configuring the BIOS boot mechanism from "UEFI with CSM" to "UEFI Without CSM" and now, after yet another Ubuntu install it boots. The link also outlines difficulties getting Windows to ever work on a replaced hard drive. Totally given up on getting Window10 going. Its now deprecated and I really couldn't cope with Windows 11. Phew.

Hope the above narrative is of some help to others.

One point being the WD sourced clone s/w identified the original drive as protected, I unprotected it.
