Image My Thinkpad P51 SSD and Write It To The HDD Platter?
x-posted to r/thinkpad
When I first got the P51 last Dec. one of the first things I did was DL the media creation tool and make the empty 500GB included HD platter bootable and write the latest OS (Win 10 Pro) to it and while I should have I did not remove the SSD that currently had the OS installed before writing but it worked out perfectly ever since and at boot up I can choose which internal drive I want to boot from, the HDD or the SSD. Problem now is while I have the SSD which I boot from 90% of the time set up just how I want I have been extremely lax in keeping up the HDD. I do not want to install a fresh MS DL of the OS but rather I want to duplicate the SSD onto the HDD so this time I am going to remove the SSD after imaging it and then write the image back to the HDD, put the SSD back in and the expectation is that I can then just go my merry way having both the SSD AND the HDD set up the way that I want them. I have no programs on either drive that rely on one another. I used to do this ALL the time with my win 7 machine though truth be told I only had one internal HDD platter and I made two partitions and dual booted that way. Any one see a problem with this : ) TIA.
