Windows 10: Is Macrium a good app to clone a system hdd to a much smaller ssd?

Discus and support Is Macrium a good app to clone a system hdd to a much smaller ssd? in Windows 10 Backup and Restore to solve the problem; not sure these days if English works the same as it used to --especially with "textspeak" and twitter etc though as IMO education seems to be far worse...

    I've had so many hospital biopsies that they can build another me No cloning involved.

    At least Macrium uses Cloning and Imaging as two distinct processes but most people don't understand the difference until they use the program.

    Hi there

    I rest my Case !!!!!!

    Actually with VR and Robotics becoming much more mainstream these days people should certainly be well aware of the difference between imaging and cloning -- but I believe the OP has solved the issue and moved the OS to a smaller HDD/SSD/Partition.

    Cheers

    I CLONED/IMAGED the full size of the larger HDD to the smaller HDD. Macrium automatically shrunk the C: Drive to fit on the smaller HDD.

    Hi there
    @fjk61011

    I think I've learnt over the years - never ever argue Literature etc with anybody from "The Emerald Isle" -- You'll always Lose !!!.

    Great place though the Republic -- always have a great time there - even if it does cost me more than a few EUR !! - and of course what about the famous exports of those great Irish Bars (even if some are constructed in Hong Kong etc) !!!!

    I remember a famous one in Brussels (more than a few by the way over there) when the Irish Ambassador performed the opening ceremony -- that's a SENSIBLE thing for Ambassadors to perform !!

    O'Reilly's - Just near the Brussels Stock exchange.

    O Photos - TripAdvisor

    Great DECENT Guinness and Irish Stew in that place !!!!

    Cheers

    Hi there
    @cereberus

    Been there too -- great as well

    Perhaps we should start a new thread -- Best Irish Bars outside the Republic !!!! - actually I've never been into a horrible one !!

    France - especially Paris though is an order of magnitude more expensive than Belgium !! - especially Brussels which for a Capital City is astoundingly cheap -- it's got a far worse reputation than it really deserves --it's more a Working city than a mega Tourist destination and it's not too big either.

    Cheers
