cloning boot drive

At present I have a 2 TB HD running windows 7 that is low on disk space, I want to clone to a 3 TB HD so I can upgrade to windows 10 or 11. Straight cloning only resulted with an HD that was still low on disk space and a whole 1 TB of unallocated space that EaseUS could not extend to. Of course...

So I have a WD 512GB SSD in an old laptop of mine and my boot drive is a 128GB Patriot SSD which are both boot drives on each respective system. I also have another desktop that uses an HDD boot drive. So my question is; How can I back up all of them (cloning or something) -provided that the...

Hi, Just cloned an Adata 500gb SSD Windows 10 boot drive to a Samsung 870 EVO 1TB drive using free Macrium Reflect Home. I removed the original drive from my desktop and plugged in the new drive and powered the system on. The new cloned Samsung drive booted the computer up but is displaying a...

I was able to clone Disk 0 to Disk 1. This is the current Disk Manager. DM I think it now boots from a larger Disk 1. Then how can one format Disk 0 so that I can use it for the data? How can I set Disk 1 as Disk 0?

Like the title says, through 3 separate people trying to do something I have now ended up in a situation where my original HDD won’t start up without my new SSD being connected and made its primary boot. The original plan was to clone my HDD to my new SSD to make it the boot device, and then...

I was trying to clone my boot drive to a new SSD since the original was a hard drive with limited storage. I cloned it using macrium and tried to boot with only the new SSD after shutdown. No boot and no option to use it after I tried finding it in the bios. When I checked my disk management I...

I bought a new Samsung 980 1TB SSD and I've installed it. I tried cloning windows from my old KINGSTON 110GB SSD (using Macrium Reflect) to my new one. However, when I did so I realized that neither the old nor new SSD would boot up windows without the ERROR 0XC0000F message. And the only way I...

I am trying to update my HP laptop (windows 10) drive from 250 Gb to 500 Gb. I have a compatible drive and tried both AOMEI Backer Upper and Macrium software. I can manipulate the drives partitions using diskpart just fine. The AOMEI software in system clone mode just hangs in the process. By...

I recently got a Samsung 870 QVO 1 TB ssd and cloned my system using the samsung migration software. Now, when i remove the cables to the hard drive, i can boot into the ssd with no problems, everything works as it should, but when i have both my ssd and hard drive connected, it boots straight...

I have just built a new PC, now I am trying to transfer my windows 10 from an old ssd to one of my two new M.2 drives. I have tried cloning but it didn't work, so I instead created a system image of the old ssd and installed a fresh Windows on the new M.2. After doing this, and taking out the...

Hey all, I recently decided to upgrade my RAM and storage. My RAM is already installed and works fine, however, I just now installed my new NVMe drive onto my motherboard (physically) and am now going into setting it as a volume. The idea is that I move my Windows 10 install + all files on the...

I'll try to make this brief and to the point. I cloned my OS from a 120 gig SSD to a newer faster 240gig M.2 as my new boot drive and changed the setting properly in the bios to recognize the M.2 port. The computer loaded up from the new M.2 but now one of my 1TB HDD and the original 120gig SSD...

Hi, I finally just upgraded from a mechanical harddrive to an SSD, and used Macrium Reflect to clone my stuff over. After doing it though, I noticed that the storage on the two drives was not equal, despite the partitions and unallocated space being identical. Before cloning, there was about...

Here's the digital manual for my motherboard. Please tell me if I can run a M.2 SSD from this. I genuinely have no clue how to tell if I can or not. ECS H81H3-M I genuinely have no idea what to look for, and all the letters and numbers are confusing to me, so I don't even know what to match to...

Hi all! I'm planning a complicated bit of computer surgery. I have (among other things) two 2TB SSDs, one as my boot drive and one one for games. The gaming SSD is nearly full, so the idea is to clone the relatively small Windows installation and accessories (all data on that drive, in all...

So I recently bought a 250GB 860 evo m.2 ssd, and I want to move ONLY the windows from the hdd to the ssd. But since it is impossible to pick which file to clone, so I was thinking to clone the local disk c to the ssd using the samsung data migration, then switch the boot order to ssd, and...

Hi, I know that there are quite similar questions to mine on here but I just had to make sure that it works for my specific lineup so please excuse me on that. So I recently got a whole new computer and the only thing that I kept was my GPU. I'm facing the problem that I want to clone my whole...
