Hello.
I'm having trouble cloning a drive to SSD and getting windows to recognise it as the same drive.
My system started out with Windows 7 Pro, where the OS was on the SSD C: Drive, but the user profiles were on the E: HDD named Programs. I upgraded to Windows 10 about two years ago and with Windows 10, I am unable to move the User Profiles.
The current E: drive is a 2TB HDD, and after moving some files and programs, 380 GB is in use. I recently bought a 1TB SSD and used the free version of Macrium Reflect to clone the HDD to the SSD, via a USB adaptor. However, on powering down and switching the HDD for the new SSD, Windows does not recognise the drive as being the same and so will not allow a login because it can not find the user profiles.
Having done something similar with the C: drive last year, I thought that this would work for a non-OS drive as well. Unfortunately, a couple of hours of Google searches is only bringing up help for cloning a C: drive.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
