Is this the best course? Image the old hard drive partitions to the external drive. I want to reinstall Win 10 at the same time. I have an external hard drive with nothing on it other than some backup software if came with that I don't need. In this case I am going to install a new hard drive in the original computer. If you install a cloned hard drive or restore an Image backup to different hardware (different motherboard or different motherboard settings) you will need to run ReDeploy to insert new drivers into the operating system so it will boot with the new hardware.įor a few of the many Knowledgebase tutorials see: If you restore to a hard drive in the original computer with same motherboard and same motherboard settings you can reboot, You can resize partitions as you restore. You can restore the Image backup to get back the state of your computer when the Image backup was created. You can remove the old hard drive and replace it with the cloned hard drive and reboot because if you clone all system partitions you are creating a bootable cloned hard drive.Īn Image backup creates a special file you can save to a folder on the destination hard drive such as a USB external harddrive, saving the Image backup does not overwrite files, folders and partitions on the destination harddrive/USB external hard drive. Cloning can overwrite the data and partitions on the hard drive you are cloning to.
Be careful, there is a fundamental difference between a clone and an Image backup.Ī clone makes a exact copy of your hard drive to another hard drive installed in your computer or installed in a USB hard drive caddy.
