Important: Windows cannot boot from a USB connected drive. You can clone to a hard drive installed in your computer or to a hard drive installed in a USB hard-drive Caddy. Cloning your hard drive creates a bootable new hard drive with the state of your computer at the time you undertook the clone. With Macrium Reflect you can boot the target disk on the same system after cloning. This is useful if you are upgrading to a larger hard drive. It is possible to clone an entire hard drive or specific partitions on a hard drive. But, we don’t need to do it manually we can use Macrium Reflect to migrate the entire Microsoft operating system (MOS) from the old PC to the new PC. We have apps, programs, files, and settings that we want to keep. We know that this job could be annoying, and losing information is not an option we want to consider. Everything goes perfectly until we want to have exactly the same data that was on the old PC. Even upgrading from an HDD to an SSD can bring a massive (and exciting) increase of performance for most PCs.
Success rate in the high 90s.Everyone knows how exciting it is to get a new computer and all the benefits this brings to our lives. The whole process of making an image and restoring might take a half hour or a couple of hours, depending on size, CPU speed, drive speed, etc. You then tell Macrium to restore the mrimg file to your system drive. You boot from this stick, leading you to the Macrium interface. The recovery drive is typically a USB stick of at least 1 gb size. You can make an image while booted from the recovery USB stick, but standard practice is to make it while booted from your still functioning system drive. You can make an mrimg file with about 8 mouse clicks using Macrium defaults. You'd likely include ALL partitions on the system drive in your image file, but you do have total control of what partitions. Maybe 100 or 200, all depending on the space occupied on the partitions on your system drive. It's typically saved on an external hard drive, but it could be a second internal. Is the drive with the image on it the Reflect recovery drive and, if so, can I boot from it replacing the original boot drive?Imaging creates an mrimg file. I'm not sure I fully understand this process being a bit of a dummy.
