Using Macrium7 (free) to clone main 1TB HDD to 3TB HDD -make bootable?
Hello all,
So I'm simply trying to upgrade from a 1 TB HDD to a 3 TB HDD. I was hoping, rather than backing up all of my data, and doing a fresh install of windows, then reinstalling everything - to instead do a simple clone, but make my main data partition bigger, taking advantage of the increased HDD space.
Right now, I'm running with the default windows 10 partition setup, from when I installed it several years ago, so my C: partition is the bootable one. Managed to use Macrium to build partitions the way I'd like in the new HDD, and copy/clone the data over, but haven't figured out how to make intended main partition (D: in the attached image) bootable. Ideally, I copy everything over, then remove the old HDD and just run with the new one here on out. I figure I'm just missing something obvious, but stumped. Any ideas? Figure with intended partition setup attached.
Thanks in advance,
Mike S
