Windows 10: Unable to Clone Windows 10 HDD

Discus and support Unable to Clone Windows 10 HDD in Windows 10 Backup and Restore to solve the problem; If I did what you suggest, should I disconnect all other Active HDDs while upgrading or doesn't it matter? It wouldn't matter. Discussion in 'Windows 10 Backup and Restore' started by dlwmacgregor, Feb 4, 2017.

  2. Very good. I will try this as a test for the time being.
    As soon as I have completed the CHKDSK for all HDDs marked as "dirty" I will try.
    I have a DVD containing a December 2016 ISO of Windows 10. Should I boot from that or boot into the SSD Windows 7 and run the upgrade from the DVD?

    To upgrade Windows 7 to 10 you have to run the Windows 10 setup from inside Windows 7. You cannot upgrade by booting from the DVD.

  5. Update: The Windows 10 Upgrade from a cloned Windows 7 on SSD worked and booted normally.
    Was damn quick too.
    Thanks for the suggestion.
    Still remains a mystery as to why it wouldn't clone from my windows 10 HDD.
