jnelsoninjax Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 I am currently working on my wife's system, and she wants the OS on it's own drive (which I agree with) it is currently installed on a M.2 and would be moved to another M.2. Would creating an image with Acronis or something similar be the best method for accomplishing this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xrobwx71 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 I use Macrium Reflect Free with it's clone function and have had much success. If you have a problem booting the new cloned drive, you can also use Macriums "fix boot problems" function as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon H Supervisor Posted March 16, 2021 Supervisor Share Posted March 16, 2021 any cloning software will suffice. additionally a lot of times you can find a link/key to the recommended cloning software from the drive manufacturer site support section Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulphy Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 As long as the underlying hardware is the same (mobo, cpu etc...) ... then yeah, a drive clone would work just fine! You could also use a bootable linux usb drive, and use the drive clone tool. That would probably be a better option, so you arent cloning from a drive that has the os currently running on it I think Hirens Boot CD has a few drive cloning tools as well.
