  1. Need Help Migrating Upgraded HDD to larger HDD


    I'm trying to migrate my Win10x64 OS and apps (not concerned about data) to a larger HDD by using several software apps (Acronis, AOEMI Partition Assistant) in Clone or Copy or Migrate modes. So far, none of them will boot when the older boot drive is disconnected or disabled. When looking at the drives in Drive Management screen, they both look like they have the right partition arrangement, and both are GPT (the larger one has some unallocated space). I've been working on this for a week using every trick I can think of with no success. Now I'm starting to think that since the Win10x64 was an upgrade from 8.1x64 that maybe there is something lingering that is preventing the new one from booting. Or maybe the bios settings for UZEFI/Legacy is allowing one to boot but not happy to the newer one. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Mobo is Asus Z97 Deluxe with 32gb.

    :)

  2. Full system backup of x64 Windows 10

    Good morning,

    I want to backup my laptop with a full image so to speak, as I am going to change the HDD for a larger one .

    So I need all my files, folders, AV MS office etc to migrate to external HDD.

    Do I create a system image or do a back up under Windows 7 backup/restore option ?

    Migrate Windows 10 to SSD

    I recently upgraded from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10. My Windows 8.1 was originally installed on a small SSD in my laptop. When I upgraded to Windows 10, it installed to my larger HDD. Is there a way to migrate my OS to the SSD without having to uninstall
    all my program files?
