Windows Update does not work in new SSD Drive
I have Windows 7 Professional. I used Partitions Assistant to migrate to an SSD drive. Every thing works fine except when I try to do a Windows Update on the new drive, I get the following message:
“Windows Update cannot currently check for updates, because the service is not running. You may need to restart your computer.”
Windows Update does work in my original hard drive. I also tried cloning the hard drive with Acronis and got exactly the same results.

Hi dickh,
This should be a bug, I will report it to the development team.
After a lot of digging I found the problem which was the driver for SATA drives. It was old and needed to be replaced with the Intel Rapid Storage driver. My computer was a 5 year old Intel.
