Cloned SSD to larger drive, FS won't start

Featured Replies

Hi, I have FS2020 (physical disc version) installed on a separate 256 SSD (drive G).  The SSD was almost full so I cloned it to a 500Mb SSD.  Windows loaded fine and could see the drive (still G).  Went to disk mgt and extended the portion so I now have c200GB free space.

However when I try and launch FS I get the error "Microsoft Flight Simulator can’t open because it is offline. The storage device might be missing or disconnected."

The drive is accessible, I'm connected to the internet and have Disc 1 of FS in the dvd drive.

Google has lots of things but mainly linked to xbox and ms store.  I've followed some of them:

- updated all apps in MS Store

- ran WSReset

- Reset gaming services

- Repair & Reset xbox app

Is the install integrally linked to the original SSD? Do I need to somehow tell windows or the FS Server that there's a new SSD?

Am I going to have to do a re-install form the disc and reinstall everything (which would be very painful lol)?

Any help really appreciated.
