  1. I need help moving my Windows Bootmanager to the main drive


    hello all,like the title says, i need help moving my windows boot manager from my old SSD to my main m.2 SSD. the thing is, my old SSD started acting up and sometimes when i start my PC i get booted into the bios because the SSD isnt showing up in bios. it fixes itself by just restarting the PC which is kinda weird but i dont really know what causes this other than its age (its 7 or 8 years old by now)i tried using google but i didnt really get smarter on how to properly install/move ONLY the boot manager on a different drive. i dont want to loose my current windows installation but i want to have the bootmanager on the same drive as the current windows. (so yea i need to create a new partition on that drive so i can install it on that one. is it possible to install it without loosing files?)

    thanks in advance <3

    I need to move windows to a new hdd

    you are correct, if he already reinstalled windows, he need to reinstall all the programs, he might as well do the same thing on the new drive directly, will be cleaner.

    Dual display in main window for SLI/Crossfire

    W1z,

    First of all, I want to thank you for writing such an excellent tool.

    After using it for few days, I would like to make a suggestion or two, if you agree that they would be useful.

    Would it be possible to move the 'Use Device' list box to the main window, or even better, display the clock settings for both cards on the main window if SLI/Crossfire are enabled?

    Also, adding the ability to save both cards clock/fan settings in a single profile would be a welcome addition so that both cards can be OC'ed on startup.

    Thanks again!

    Someone correct me if I am wrong here, but he is not going to be able to move software using Acronis. If you reinstalled Windows the next step is reinstalling all your software.
