Make new SSD Win 10 boot-able from Macrium image?

Cloning requires the SSD to be the same as or larger than the internal disk.

Your SSD is larger than your internal disk- right?

Not sure, the SSD is 250GB...

To be precise, cloning is an exact copy.

However you can downsize partitions with MR and make a copy. If you search for
clone to a smaller disk macrium
you can find articles.
E.g.

Why does the disk size matter? Whatever is on the existing drive to copy over is nowhere near the 250GB of the SSD...

If this person does not benefit from GPT is there any point converting?

Edit: The drive may already be in GPT anyway... Will need to check.

No, there is no point and there is no speed gain using GPT, I always use MBR for my OS drive, because I only want 1 partition for windows.

So much easier to image, and that`s just the way I prefer it.
