  1. Not new to Windows mirroring, but new to Win10 mirrors, and... Disk Management can't edit BCD?


    I'm familiar with using Windows to create mirrors, and have done it for years on server systems, but never on a workstation OS. I finally upgraded my .5TB C: drive to a 1TB + 1TB mirror. Is it common for Win10 Disk Manager to say you have to edit the BCD manually, because it can't do it? I did it once when mirroring the 512gb to the new 1TB (edited the BCD manually, booted up with the new drive, removed the old, and removed the defunct BCD entry). Just wondering if this is "normal" behavior on Win10, and whenever I mirror a boot drive, I'll have to edit the BCD myself. Windows Server OSs have done this for me, for years.

    Thanks!
