Good video as usual and timely. Wanted to save my 2010 laptop, which still runs good. I am going to guess, the operations are the same for non-OS drives' cloning. Off the topic, have you had a chance to make a video for Windows 11, similar to your "Things you need to disable in Windows 10 right now"? I liked the one stop shop explanation and has helped all my Win 10 pcs run effectively and efficiently.

Thanks for the video Brian. I have used Acronis to upgrade several computers from old mechanical drives to new SSDs. They are always amazed at the speed increase. I use the Acronis software to do daily backups as well. Their tech support is excellent too, I would add.

@Britec09 28 дней назад

@geojohnson5613 28 дней назад

@@Britec09 Brian, I would not say that it has become bloated. They have added additional features such as antivirus / anti-malware. These added features are optional when Acronis is initially installed. Even the ransomware protection can be toggled off. I only use Windows Security with the Premium Malwarebytes so I elected not to install the additional programs. It's still one of the best backup solutions available.

I did get Disk Genius with a view to doing exactly what the video suggests. Then, all the hoo ha around 24H2 piled in so I went the custom .iso route instead. Cloning would have allowed me to keep my existing Windows license (One advantage of a Microsoft account, which I had when I switched my email account from Hotmail to Outlook.), but hey, it is what it is and one way or another I'll have Windows the way I want it when I eventually build my new PC.

Thanks Brian this is something that I have been thinking of for some time now - cloning my 500GB PCIe express to a new 1TB PCIe express drive, and in the last I have used Macrium and AOMEI for doing this and frankly Macrium has never ever worked properly for me, and AOMEI has always been very "touchy" to use. Now I am assuming that I can clone to an external drive enclosure of course because the machine I am on is a one drive slot laptop? But anyway this software is the ducks guts by the looks of it and thanks again for a great tutorial as it is so easy to follow and by the looks of it to use this method😃😃👍👍👍👍

Hi Brian, Thanks for the video. I just wanted to ask whether using Minitool Partition Wizard is still okay ?? I followed your video on that (which was published 1 year ago) and, after starting the OS cloning/copying process, I later found this video which is quite recent comparably. So, just wanted to confirm with you once.

@blindmansentertainment7735 28 дней назад

Is it possible to have a separate drive just for video editing im wondering if this would reduce computer resources and keep a 2tb drive for the rest of the computer if so could or have you done a video thanks

@OutofDarkness_jik День назад

Thank you for your video. I may well have not understood one step: You showed us that on this occasion you were not allowing DG to change the bootable disc. However after your reboot when you went into Disk Manager you showed it had already switched to a different bootable drive. So how did you make the cloned drive the bootable drive? I know there is the option in DG to automatically do this but in your example you didn't select that option. Thanks.

Macrium reflect is the best disk cloning program ever

@ragus3321 26 дней назад

Hey Brian, very usefull video, just had some questions. So, firstly, at 4:36 you extended the "system partition size" from 63.1 GB to the maximum size of the target disk. Why did you do this? I don't understand the point of extending the amount that will be clonded beyond the size of the source disk, since the amount that can be cloned can only go as high as the source disk. Is this something that is necessary when cloning the drive? Second, after cloning the drive and replacing it (with the target drive that was just cloned onto) for an upgrade, is it necessary to go into my system BIOS and change the computer boot sequence, or will the system automatically boot the correct drive (Have the correct boot order/sequence) since it's in the same slot? Thanks!

@kw0064 24 дня назад

Because if you do, you'll have the whole new drive's space as your OS drive. If not, you'll need to create a new partition with the remaining empty space and use that as another logical drive.

@ragus3321 24 дня назад

@@kw0064 Ok, so it is necessary to extend the system partition size of the target disk, but what about my other question? Is it necessary to change the computer boot sequence in the system BIOS when replacing the cloned drive?

Perfect timing on this video doing this now. Question for you, I'm migrating from a 500GB SSD to a 2TB M.2 SSD, I'd like to still use that SSD for some additional storage afterwards. how would I go about wiping that drive?

@Britec09 27 дней назад

Just wipe your old drive once cloned and working

@dingokidneys 27 дней назад

Once you've moved over to the new M.2 SSD, let the system run for a few days to make sure that all is good and you really don't need to go back to the old SSD. This may be overkill, but safe is better than sorry. Then using Disk Management you can repartition and reformat the old SSD how you like. Be very careful that you are working on the right disk as there is essentially no going back from a repartition/reformat. Lost data is a bad feeling.

@D.P.G 27 дней назад

I download the Acronis cloning tool from the WD site. If it doesn't find a WD drive in the system then plug in a Sandisk USB stick to keep it happy. It's ridiculous that Microsoft don't have a tool to do this.

I use Rescuezilla, a live distro Linux.

@dingokidneys 27 дней назад

I recently used Rescuezilla to move a Windows install from a nasty slow 1TB HDD to a 128GB partition on a 240GB SSD. It took a bit of wrangling, preshrinking and moving the Windows partitions around on the source drive, then backing up to an external hard drive, installing the SSD and recovering the Windows install from the external HDD backup image. It was tedious and clumsy but it all worked out well. It was essentially a dry run for potentially moving my aged brother's Windows install to new hardware should that be necessary. As it turned out, I swapped him over to Linux Mint and he's happy as a pig in mud.

@dingokidneys 27 дней назад

I've not been a daily Windows user for years now so be careful, but I'd guess that you need to delete the partitions on the new drive using Disk Management. This should get you back to a blank drive from where you can try again. If that doesn't work, you may need to create a new partition table (GPT for preference) after deleting stray partitions.

How about a one terabyte HD using only 87 GB to a 256 GB SSD?

@dingokidneys 27 дней назад

There are write-ups and videos about how to do this all over the internet. I did just that not long ago. The trick is to take it slow and easy and verify after every step. Before doing anything, back up your data. If all goes bad you can at least re-install and re-load your data. In fact this might be the easiest way particularly if you use a Microsoft account to sign into your machine. What I did was shrink the Windows filesystems and partitions; (reboot into Windows to check all still works); then relocate the partitions so they all sit under the 256GB or whatever mark; (reboot into Windows, OK?); clone the partitions to the new drive. How you do all this will depend on the tools you choose. I used Rescuezilla as I'm an old Linux user and am most familiar with the tools it packages.

@normanwhite2227 23 дня назад

Just create new partition say 90gb for this 87gb and then clone 90gb into 256gb ssd.

Why on earth would you clone an 8TB drive? Such drives are mostly traditional hard drives (i.e not SSD) and a 16tb drive is certainly going to be an HDD. Such drives are excellent for data storage, but not ideal for a system drive as theyre relatively slow. If you need to copy *data*, do just that, copy the files, no need to clone!
