Windows 10: cloning win 10 os disk

Evening folks.

I have a win 7 pc which I clone with Norton Ghost 15 on boot cd which gets me out of trouble regularly
especially when trying new software out.

I also have a win 10 laptop which does not work with NGhost, presumably because of the UEFI file system or whatever.
(I don't pretend to know the reason) *Smile

What are people using successfully to clone a win 10 OS preferably from a boot disk?
Advice appreciated,
Mike

Install Windows 10

Thank you Ravinath

This is the exact response that I received from other sources and this is my approach now. I have already re-installed the Win 8.1 version. Fortunately, I had made a clone of the Win 8.1 OS and I just put that disk in. Now I shall wait for the upgrade, upgrade
to Win 10, make a backup (clone) and then do a clean install of Win 10.

Thank you for your help!

I think I'll clone my revo to an hdd, do the win 10 upgrade, then try to clone it back to revo all keeping the same disk id.

 

Anything but Norton. Ghost was no longer supported after 2013, so it is no wonder why you are having issues. Macirum is the one that a lot use. If you just want to do a full disk clone, you can use Clonezilla. Just be aware that you have to run it in Legacy mode on the bios and it may not allow you to restore Windows 10 as UEFI.

 

Thanks mate.
So Macirum will do a full clone including uefi?

 

Yes, and it will give you the option of making it's own boot disk as well.

 

Excellent, I'll grab it, thanks mate.
