New for 2018 is the ability to clone from within the Windows installed application without the requirement to boot into a Linux environment to do so. The OEM 2Tb HDD includes a partition labeled "HP Recovery" which is OEM recovery software from HP that I do not believe has ever been updated and I do not believe is used at all by the present Windows 10 OS. The Automatic mode of the clone tool will adjust partition size proportionally from large to small disk and vice versa provided there is sufficient space on the target disk to do so. Second question that applies only to my tower PC cloning: PC is a 5-year old HP tower PC that I have taken from Windows 7 through Windows 8.1 and now Windows 10. Are there any potential problems or special steps to my proposed "downsizing?"
What if you just want the OS and maybe a few programs on the SSD, but keep a HDD for data. Macrium Reflect Free will clone perfectly provided contents on HDD will fit on SSD. My question is can the partition resizing function be used to reduce the sizes of the partitions manually as I prepare the clone command instructions? All of the examples I have found in the Macrium help materials and KB deal with resizing partitions when cloning from a smaller HDD/SD to a large volume HDD/SSD. Windows 10 Operating system Software Information & communications technology Technology. The purpose of the clone is to replace the HDD with the SSD. Select the 'Clone OS Disk' or 'Clone Data Disk' and click 'Next'.
The HDD is mostly empty - OS, system, data occupying only about 300G. Cloning a larger hard drive to a smaller SSD which is exactly the reason I got Macrium Reflect is very simple. On a Windows 10 desktop tower PC I plan to clone a 2Tb HDD to a 512G SSD. Seems like a lot of nonsense going on in this thread, you were linked to the KB article that explains how to do it.
