Is Macrium a good app to clone a system hdd to a much smaller ssd?

Is Macrium a reliable programme to clone a system HDD to a much smaller SSD?

Jeepers, that was a quick move. :)

Hi there

You can't CLONE to a smaller drive = ==> AFAIK Clone means replicate the original identically in every way -- not sure these days if English works the same as it used to --especially with "textspeak" and twitter etc though as IMO education seems to be far worse than it was about 40 years ago --that's my opinion though.

You can certainly IMAGE to a smaller drive or partition provided the original OS will fit on it.

Don't forget also to restore the system reserved partition if it exists. You don't actually need the Recovery partition -- no point if you've got Macrium for your recovery.

Cheers

Will the IMAGe OS be bootable?

Yes the Queen's English be f#@cked

I might have replied, but that definitely persuaded me not to.

Ah, reread it. It sounds like an order.

The dangers of lack of tone in emails (and texts).

You will first have to reduce the partition size (of probably your C-drive) so the image you create will fit on the smaller drive.
