Windows 10: Should I transfer my Upgrade or Clean Install?

Sorry, I rushed that one and they are indeed talking about a different kind of verification there. I didn't find something suitably explicit yet but could go into Macrium when I get home from work and check it out directly.

EDIT: Right, so yes, I was missing the important distinction between "Auto Verify" per se and "Verify" (more like chkdsk, let's say) in the Macrium context. I imagine in Macrium, cloning and imaging being totally different animals, verify and, in a sense, forensic sector copying, are as far as it goes in assuring an exact clone.

 

Alright so I analyzed the disk in Reflect. I'm not sure if I should stick with my clone or format the drive and make an image of the original, because once this entire process is complete I won't have any backup media except for my 1tb drive.

 

You could make a second partition on the 1tb drive and save an image of the 2tb drive to a single image file on the extra partition on the 1tb drive, if you are that concerned about it. Then when you can, get a second drive (preferably USB) for backup purposes.
