I have noticed that there seems to be some resistance to using a disc clone to literally move an existing Windows 10 installation from an existing HDD serving as the system disk to an SSD intended as its replacement (or perhaps I'm just imagining this).
When upgrading HDDs to larger capacity ones over the course of several decades now this was always my technique for moving Windows (and anything and everything else) from the old HDD to the new HDD lock, stock, and barrel. I've even done that when going to a smaller system HDD when the total content of the original would still fit easily on a smaller capacity drive.
Am I incorrect in having the impression I have that "cloning is just not done," when the two disc storage technologies are not the same? To me, and I'd presume to the machine, a disc is a disc is a disc, and the underlying technology should not be important. But if I'm incorrect, about that, I'd love to know more about why.
