I've bought a new SSD (Acer SA100 480GB MAS0902+3D NAND SATA 2.5 inch). I want to clone my older HDD (running win10) to the SSD. I've also purchased a SATA to USB connector (Cablet 2.5 Inch SATA USB 3.0 HDD/SSD Portable External Enclosure).
But when I connect the SSD to win10, it comes up as readonly in the file explorer, in the diskmgmnt as well as is the diskpart ("Read-only" is NO but "Current Read-Only State" is YES).
I've tried quick format in the file explorer (the media isn't writable error comes). I've tried using attributes clear disk readonly and format fs=ntfs quick [using diskpart in win10].
I've also tried changing the partitioning scheme (both mbr and gpt doesn't work), deleting all partitions and having a single ntfs partition [using cfdisk in my linux machine].
The problem isn't with the new SSD or the usb connector as it is writable in my linux machine when connected via usb. Also, i've tried connecting my another hdd (which has both ntfs and ext4 fs partitions) to the win10 using usb. There also the ntfs partitions are detected as "readonly".
It's windows so i suppose there shouldn't be any drivers issue, is there anything required for mounting drives in win10 except plugging it in via usb ?
Edit: I've also tried inserting my win10 hdd to my another machine (in which I have linux on nvme) so that there isn't any hardware difference between linux setup and win10 setup apart from drives on which they are installed. There also when i connect ssd or hdd via usb to win10 it gets recognized as "read-only".
