Problem cloning Windows 10 with dual boot (separate SSDs) setup
Hi guys, hope you'll be able to help.
I bought bigger SSD for my system drive and wanted to clone my system drive onto it.
I have dual boot setup - Windows 10 + Windows 7 (on 2 separate SSDs).
Tried Acronis. Everything was copied (cloned successfully), but when I disconnect smaller system SSD it doesn't boot at all (blue win10 screen with system boot error) and eventually keeps kicking me into the BIOS (FYI BIOS booting order was changed).
I'm pretty sure it has something to do with dual boot, but not 100% sure what.
When new (bigger) SSD is connected on it's own the same as above happens.
When new SSD is connected with Windows 7 SSD - same thing, kicks me to BIOS.
Reconnecting old (smaller) SSD with Win10 on and booting with connected SSD with Win7 (old setup) - everything works (Windows 10 boots normally from old smaller SSD).
Any help would be appreciated.
Summarising - I want to move my Windows 10 (make exact clone of it) on to bigger SSD and have a dual boot option with Win7 running on separate SSD.
If I missed any info please let me know.
Thanks guys!
