Help anyone? I have a win7 / win10 dual boot system, win 7 on a hdd, win 10 is on ssd, bootmgr is on win 7 drive, now I want to clone win 10 to a bigger ssd but tools I have tried failed with message 'boot volume and system need to be on same drive' how can I get win 10 to boot and remove win 7 from my system?
We need to see a screenshot of disk management:
Disk Management - How to Post a Screenshot of General Tips Tutorials
and please make sure to widen all the columns so that we can see all the data in the columns.
Disk 1 E: & F: are the new ssd ready for clone of os
anything after disk 5 are external or DVD drives
The easiest solution is probably going to be to install EasyBCD:
EasyBCD - NeoSmart Technologies
Scroll down the webpage and you will see the option to "register" for the free, non-commercial use download. You don't really have to register. Click the register button, then on the next screen just click the download button.
Change your boot partition to C: drive, which my understanding in your screenshot above is Windows 10?
Changing the Boot Partition
Then you might have to change your boot order in BIOS to boot from Disk 2 instead of Disk 0. That will make your Windows 10 completely self-contained and whatever you were using to try to clone it should now work.
