Windows 10: Can I use a clone of my drive in my wife's computer??

I just put a SSD in my computer and the difference was pretty dramatic.
I tried to do the same with my wife's, but her partitians were laid out oddly and wouldn't transfer, so I had to make one much smaller. It had to reboot to do that, and when it did, Windows simultaneously did an update.
Apparently you can't do that, because it corrupted the system files.

I was able to get all her data off. Nothing worked to fix the disk, so I did a system restore. Turns out the original system is W7. I know you can upgrade it, but it doesn't look like fun, and I would then have to download all the software again. And I would have to make a second pass at the SSD. (this time I would ignore the system restore partitian; I think that would solve that problem.)

So... I stuck in a SSD that was a clone of my system and stuck it in. It SEEMS to work fine.
Am I all set, or will I find problems in the future? I expected it to tell me my Windows was illegal, but it seems okay with it. Is it, or will hit me in the head later on?

cloneing a drive in windows 10

Hi,I have this question last year,but my os is windows 8.there are my steps of

How to clone drive in winodws

,you can check.hope that helps

First,I download a free tool of MiniTool partition wizard and launch it.

Step 1. Connect SSD to Windows 8. Install and launch MiniTool Partition Wizard Free Edition, select the source hard drive and then choose “Copy”

Step 2. Select a disk to copy the source disk. Here you are expected to choose the SSD (we choose disk 3).

Note: All the data on SSD will be destroyed, so make sure you have done backup in advance. You are allowed to clone a hard drive to a smaller SSD, as long as it can hold all data in the source disk. You can also clone SSD to larger SSD by using MiniTool
Partition Wizard Free Edition.

Step 3. Review the changes you are going to make and also change the copy options if necessary.

Step 4. MiniTool Partition Wizard will tell you how to boot from the destination hard drive. So if you are cloning boot drive to SSD, you need to pay attention.

Step 5. When you are lead to the main interface again, you can preview the changes you are going to make from the middle pane. (Here disk 3 has the same disk layout with disk 1.) If you confirm these
changes, you should click “Apply” to make the changes effective. Hope that helps
