    FYI-Cloning Hard Drive (Windows 10 Pro x64)


    Hi, All...
    When using free software I always keep this "Quote" in mind.
    “You can please some of the people all of the time,
    you can please all of the people some of the time,
    but you can’t please all of the people all of the time”
    With that out of the way...
    I'm in the early stages of doing a desktop upgrade.
    (Waiting for all the hardware to arrive)
    I decided to clone my old storage sata hard drive to a new 1TB SSD.
    So I installed the latest version of "Macrium Reflect 7 Free Edition".
    Tuned off Desktop connected SSD, turned on PC, went to Disc Management.
    Got the Pop Up to allocate disc, so I did.
    I started the clone process and got an error. I went back to Disc Management
    and saw the SSD was gone.
    I restarted my Desktop and went threw the entire above process again
    Got the same error, again.
    I rebooted ounce more went to Disc Management.
    Got the Pop Up to allocate disc, so I did.
    But this time I place a video on the SSD and it played just fine. That told me the SSD was working fine.
    So I down loaded the lasted version of "AOMEI Backupper Free Edition" and tried it.
    AOMEI Backupper cloned the SSD on the first go round.
    So if you are not getting the results your looking for when cloning, try cloning with AOMEI Backupper.
    The good news is, if for some reason you don't get the results your looking for
    it just costs you a few minutes of your time, You are not being charged to use it.
    Worked like a champ for me...
    My Clone took 20 minutes, Connected SSD drive to motherboard with sata cable.
    Copied 230 GB's from 512 GB sata hard drive to 1TB SSD.
