Cereberus - After I modified my BIOS per the Tachytelic article I cite to, my Win 7 Pro 64-bit will not start even in my original HDD. (My Win 10 Pro 64-bit does start from the HDD.)

Question -...

SIW2 - your comment finally inspired an idea: When I modified my BIOS per the Tachytelic article I link to, especially when I added the line for NvmExpressDxe_Small into the BIOS per that article,...

bro67 - As this was my second time following exactly that article, I was pretty careful. Yes, I might try it again from scratch, but I don't think that will be the answer.

NavyLCDR - What do you mean by "Then move the Windows to the new disk controller and boot it into safe mode"?

Please explain in detail.

EDIT - also, where do I find the disk controller in...

I used Macrium Reflect 8 to clone my existing dual-booting HDD (Win 7 and Win 10) to a new NVME M.2, but the NVMe won't start correctly. My HDD still runs, and I'm still using it.

A) While...

I've posted in these forums a particular problem that maybe could be solved with an in-place upgrade repair, but there are complications that don't belong in this thread.

Please go to my TenForums...

This one is a bit unusual and complicated, but please make suggestions as if it were a bit simpler. I want to try stuff to see if I can fix the start-up problem.

Problem - I have cloned a...

☺
But let me double-check my principal question - has anyone here actually run Macrium's "Fix Windows boot problems" in a dual-booting PC and it did not mess with the dual-booting?

NavyLCDR - interesting suggestion - connect the NVMe drive before running the steps in the amazing article I linked to? Just to see that the 7010 (in each of Win 10 and Win 7 booting from the HDD)...

OK - sounds like it's good - thanks.

NavyLCDR - Will I have an option to fix both OSes so that it saves the dual-booting?

Navy LCD - Happy New Year! I will add the NVME using the amazing technique in THIS ARTICLE

I've done that once before successfully to an Optiplex 7010 a few months ago, but that was single-boot...

There's an excellent tutorial how to use Macrium Reflect to clone from your existing HDD to a new NVMe M.2 SSD. at UPDATE: Using Macrium Reflect Free to Clone Windows to a Bootable M.2 SSD -...

Quandary - thanks and some follow-up questions:


Earlier today, I created a virgin partition in a second drive in my PC, did the MR - Windows Boot Media into it, and gave it drive letter M: . ...

Kari and all - many thanks again. Question -

Is it possible to do this so that the start-up choice in step 2.6 does NOT appear? I would prefer that (a) my PC always boot normally into Win 10...

Although the posts above are wise, I just wanted to notify the world that, in my test Dell Optiplex 7010 Mini-Tower:

All here - thanks for your very fast responses to my post at top.

I have done something a bit different, as suggested over at AskWoody, with very good results. (At Topic: Why is Bitlocker...

I have two brand-new Dell Optiplex 7000 Towers and one brand-new Dell Precision 3660 Tower for my wife's office and three staffers, both Win 10 Pro 64-bit v 21H2 and fully updated, including...

Yes - and there are youtubes showing how to use Macrium Reflect to clone everything but also while adjusting partition sizes on the target.

Macrium Reflect has a boot-fix feature. Look it up.

After downgrading to AnyDesk 6.2.3, the flood of errors has stopped.

Freebooter - thanks for your interest!

Your article link is interesting and -- to me -- educational. But I don't see how it discusses whether Solution 2's increased accesses are safe or risky. ...

FreeBooter - thanks for suggestion, and good to do.

But my concern is that Solution 2 might create a weakness that I won't know about until much later, when a backup is obsolete.

Does anyone...

Update - MAcrium Reflect's Fix VSS Problems has NOT helped.

I've posted an update in Ten Forums here - please take a look: SDSSnapshotProcess triggers errors with VSS Volume Shadow Copy Service
