DR_ADHAM Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 You may have to look at this: MacriumReflect7.2.3906 [for Windows] - Backup & Restore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sefton22 Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 why not move stored data to the new drive, freeing up the current drive? if you had bought a SSD (for the OS), you usually get migration software to use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snuffy1942 Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Acronis True Image, Macrium reflect and Paragon Hard Disk Manager have been very reliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wozzzzza Posted April 1, 2019 Author Share Posted April 1, 2019 went with paragon, far easier, but like the old paragon better not the latest version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
