You know, I have been dealing with this crap since windows very beginning. Microsoft hopefully in not involved in anything NASA does or we will never get to Mars much less Newark New Jersey. They can not create backup and restore software that actually works, never have. With new bios, UEFI...

Well another baby step. I burned the drivers to a disk and when prompted to insert the installation media to select driver and tried open them I got a dialogue “the specified location does not contain information about you hardware” back to the drawing board.

I’m a bit further. In device manager I found the windows drivers for the drives. In the driver folder in sys 32 I copied them. There were three for my transcend drive. Now I’m just pondering can I put them on my boot repair disk or burn them to a disk or what?

When I hover over each driver in the sys32 driver folder it displays the driver info. But I don’t know what I’m looking for.

Now if I click okay on the “insert media” dialogue it opens the system 32 folder that I assume is on the boot repair windows disk. Now there is a folder named drivers in there. I suppose, not knowing driver names I could spend a day selecting each one to see if one of them works. Doubtful. I...

Thanks I am not using usb3. Let me restate my original post for clarity. I have two external usb 2 back up drives. The contain the same windows 10 backups I made last October as well as backups for other computers. Plugged into the computer they both work fine and I can open all my folders, no...

I have been trying to restore Windows 10 from a Windows backup image on an external usb drive. I boot my computer int o the bios and select my external boot/ repair drive and it boots into it. Next after selecting keyboard language, I select advanced options then restore from a backup, then...

i am going to try to run windows 10 as a virtual machine. hopefully it will work

If your Windows PC is booting in EFI mode, Microsoft has blocked the loading of legacy or non-Windows operating systems from the BCD menu. This means that you can no longer use EasyBCD to add Windows 9x, XP, or Server 2003 entries to the BCD bootloader menu. You also cannot add DOS, Linux, BSD...

Easy BCD states that "Due to limitations set by Microsoft, many of Easy BCD's multi-booting features cannot be used in EUFI mode and have been disabled. " but it does say there may be work around. unfortunately Easy BCD did not detect the UEFI bios so I can not view the possible work arounds.

yes understood. AOMEI Backupper cloned the entire boot drive. thanks will check out easy BCD

This of course makes sense and doesn't. I can not understand why companies make software to clone you entire os and programs to another drive if it is not possible. I bought backupper which clones drives, partitions, programs you name It. I guess it is only useful if you want to put a clone back...

I tried putting the original windows 10 SSD drive from my old computer on the new system and see if it would see 10 Oscas well as the the 11 OS instead of from the partition on the drive That came with windows 11. No luck. So cloning an OS with cloning software or just attaching the original...

cubase5. not supported

It will as all previous windows versions remain un supported. It is an offline system. Imagine it like a tape recorder. It is a tool for recoding music in a studio. Even downloads are transferred to it rather than it be online. And I do what steps I can to keep it from asking to update. A minor...
