Its been working ok but I have recently decided that as the server was only being used for PC backups that local PC backups using Macrium Reflect and external USB HDD's is much easier. I still have...

I'm still using my old gen3 pc's with Windows10, I also still use a gen4 and a gen6 PC and at the moment see no reason to upgrade but even if I did then to get into a gen10 setup would cost less than...

Thank you again but thats not the problem either.

I should be able to login to my Microsoft online account from any of my 4 PC's and see the exact same devices listed i.e. all 4 PC's should show...

Thanks but that's not what I am referring to. I am talking about the Microsoft online account where there is a list of devices associated with my account.

I have 4 PC's all running W10 Pro 21H1. All PC's use local accounts but have in the past used my MS account to login, so why is it that depending on which PC I use to login to my MS account on line i...

I don't think that is correct, maybe I have misunderstood your meaning. I have 4 windows 10 PC's, one has never shown the "like what you see" info but the other three always show the info even after...

An update.....

Macrium Reflect worked. All partitions copies and labelled accordingly. :thumbsup:

Thanks for all the responses and help.

Update.......

My test client PC seems to be working with WSE2016 without being a member of the domain. To get this working I did the regedit "SkipDomainJoin", installed the WSE client connector,...

Thanks for all the replies. I just don't understand why the recovery partition is created but not marked as the recovery partition. I will have a look at Macrium and see if that does the clone...

Nothing. I will also want the unallocated partition added to the boot partition or shrink the boot partition and add it to the unallocated partition.

I ran the disk clone again and this is the result. Disk 0 (MBR) was cloned to disk 2

The 857MB recovery partition appears on the new boot ssd as just a 863MB primary partition. The other...

I have used Aomei Backupper to clone a Windows 10 Pro SATA3 SSD to a new NVMe M2 SSD. It went well and I now have a new boot drive but the cloning process did not copy over the Recovery Partition...

In case anyone is still interested i will continue to update this thread...........

Remote desktop now works from a Windows 10 PC, it was a simple fix with the remote desktop settings within...

I am now evaluating Windows Server Essentials 2016 and installed it on my test PC. WSE 2016 is very much like WHS 2011, so far! I have setup pooled storage, shared folders and added users as easily...

It feels like a big learning curve for me. There are so many options which are not explained as I guess the TrueNAS guys think you should be a unix guru already. I have just been reading up on Amahi...

After many more hours trying out TrueNAS it looks increasingly like its not for me. TrueNAS is just too complicated to setup and not particularly intuitive, well not intuitive at all really. My next...

I have spent the last few days setting up and testing a TrueNAS server on an old PC. TrueNAS would appear to do nearly everything I need so far but more investigation and testing needs to be done....

Thanks for the reply, I tried the process in the link without success. I have done more testing with four different PC's with different results on each! All PC's are on W10 20H2.

I have two PC's, both used to appear under my online Microsoft account in "devices" but something has changed on one of the PC's because it no longer appears under "devices". Both PC's have my...

I may have solved my problem. I still have the SSD's with the OS on them so I took a punt and plugged one into a PC as the boot drive and sure enough Windows boots up and activates automatically even...

Thanks for the info, that has completely blown my mind! :-) but worth considering.

Thanks for the responses. Macrium Reflect is a good option and the free version looks to have what I need.

I am also looking at the NAS option which would appear to be an easier setup than...

I currently have a WHS2011 server which has given me many years of excellent, trouble free service. The server has been used as a media server, file server, download server and a backup server but...

That was my thought to but I don't want to install Windows overighting the existing OS and then find i don't have a usable key.

Hello TenForum members. Just joined today hoping for some help with Windows product keys. I have been using Windows 10 on a number of PC's (7 in total) for a number of years, all were upgraded from...
