    Clone not working


    I suggest you use the Reflect option to "Create an image of the partitions required to backup restore Windows" and store that image on an external drive. Then install the new clean drive and restore the image ensuring only the single new system disk is connected when you first boot to Windows.

    As others have mentioned, you may have problems with duplicate disk signatures if you clone the disk. I also advise turning off secure boot.

    Yep Steve aiming to do just that well image at least when I have all my programs in place - broadband here is atrocious right now so it is a slow and tedious process but at least the Pro issue has been sorted. I am thinking now perhaps the activation might have gone on the 8 original OEM code as it was only the 7 that was Pro??

    I don't plan having any other drives in the machine as 500GB is usually more than enough for me as I don't do much gaming or have heaps of data*Cool

    The first support crowd were obviously scammers I guess as I was charged nothing for this upgrade and it is interesting to see that code is different from the other disk's code*Rolleyes

    I just used Macrium Reflect Free for the first time last week.

    I selected the clone function and then I was able to select the specific partitions I wanted cloned. Then I was able to select the target disk, which had enough unallocated space.

    Is this simply confusion over vocabulary?

    I tried doing a partition copy using another partition management program, and the copy was not bootable, no matter what I did. *Mad Colossal waste of time. With Macrium Reflect, the copied/cloned partition booted up no problems. *Smile
