If you cloned your original drive to an internal drive using an enclosure, you can simply install the new drive in your PC and turn it on. How to restore your clone on a new hard drive You can now continue with steps seven to ten in the preceding section. A blue rectangle will appear when the disk is selected. In this case, I'm choosing my C: drive because it is the drive I'm swapping out. Launch Macrium Reflect from your Start menu, desktop or taskbar.
It's also good practice to clean up any files on your system, especially if you're moving to a smaller drive - you can't have more data than the new drive can hold. See at Acronis (opens in new tab) How to clone your hard driveīefore you begin with Macrium Reflect, ensure the drive you're going to clone to is connected to your PC. For just the cloning and backup software, you'll spend about $40. Just don't expect a fancy user interface.Īcronis True Image: There are a few buying options to choose from when it comes to Acronis - there is also a 30-day free trial (opens in new tab) - including subscription options that come with 50GB or 1TB of cloud storage. It supports a ton of file systems and it plain works. Its UI is super simple to use, and you can even set an automatic file sync that will keep your backup up to date.Ĭlonezilla: This free, open-source cloning tool has been around for a long time, and with good reason. Having to type from cmd prompts is getting awfully tedious and so last-century, especially when easy fixes are to be found.AOMEI Backupper: Like Macrium Reflect, there is a fully-functional, free version of AOMEI that lets you create system images, back up hard drives, and clone drives. assistant, most every disk/drive issue has had a simple visual method to address. In combo with Minitool Partition or Aomei Part. Win 10 is the common link in all sorts of crashes and issues, and very unlikely Macrium is to blame.
Zero problems, and just remember if boot issues arise use the boot CD to fix MBR etc. My coup de gras was using an old VHD of a dying win XP IDE laptop, mounting it via win 10, imaging it as if it were a real drive with MacRefl, then re-installing that back to the original lap IDE drive from the boot CD and external drive. Along the way, using MacrRefl, I have successfully backed up and restored and moved partitions between numerous HDDs - ALL basic MBR not GPT, even the win 10. After a recent serious win 10 update taking 2 full hours, ie longer than the original upgrade from win 7 itself, it has finally stopped the infamous pagefile error crash on every shutdown/reboot. As I have been using MacRefl Free for several years, finding it all around the most reliable means of cloning/imaging, including over the past 2 months of messing with fixing the Win 10 'upgrade' nightmare, I must laugh at your completely wrong info.
