I posted this in the General Mayhem section but thought I might get a faster response if I post it here.
I'm trying to clone a HP factory spinner 1TB hard-drive running Win 10 home over to a new Crucial MX500 500GB SSD drive using the Acronis software supplied with the new drive. This laptop has 700GB free so I know everything will fit on the new smaller drive.
When I try to copy this drive Acronis puts up the following warning:
The selected disk will be restored as is (Disk layout will remain GPT).
After operation completion, operating systems will not boot from the destination disk in BIOS.
What does this mean and how do I get around it? I've done other swaps on Dell's and HP and have never ran into this problem untill now.
It's an older laptop HP Pavilion model# 17-e119wm. I'm upping the memory to 16 gig and installing this SSD drive so they can get another year or so out of it. Any suggestion will be appreciated.
I just downloaded and installed Macrium. It tells me that I have insufficient disk space? I think it is confused since the original source disk is a 1TB and the selected disk in only 500GB. Even through this is only 200GB used on this 1TB disk. It wouldn't let me proceed any further.
I'm trying to clone both disks on the old PC that my grand kids use when they visit. I always use this old PC when I clone disk as it makes it so much easier.
Attached is a screenshot showing these drives. The middle drive is the one I'm trying to clone to the empty drive on the bottom. I don't understand what are all these partitions on the original 1TB drive? I understand the Windows and the recovery partitions but what are the others for and do I need them?
