It worked! Can't believe it. I exchanged my 128GB one with a Crucial 500 GB one. Used the Acronis True Image that came with the new SSD. Still getting used to having so much free space :D

Hi, I tried to upgrade to a 256GB SSD using shadowprotect and EaseUS to restore the image, but the drive would never boot. The SSD was not the problem as it worked fine when installing Windows from scratch. Did you simply restore a disk image with Acronis?

Thanks for this tutorial. I typically avoid working on my laptops and gadgets due to overwhelming hidden gotchas. This made swapping out my broken hard drive quick and painless. Thanks again!

Thanks so much!! It worked for me though somehow my internal speakers and headphones are gone (After re-installing custom windows 8.1) Could the yellow flexible flat cable be in any way connected to the sound card? I would appreciate any help

Try this: Go to Control Panel>System and Security>System and to the left, click on Advanced System Settings. Worked for me:
