Restore system SSD to larger one

Thread solved

I have been using True Image 2015 and 2020 (USB boot media) to restore entire system SSD images with hardly any trouble. MBR, system partition, recovery partition, all "paste" nicely on destination SSDs and Windows boots up like nothing happened. But those were the original SSDs where the backups came from, or they were the same size.

Now I have a slightly larger (NVME) SSD where I restored my SATA SSD image to. Restored at disk level, all partitions were written and Windows boots nicely. However, I did not get any option to resize the system partition; it simply restored as the original size with the 511MB recovery partition "adjacent" to it. Thus lies some 5GB+ of unallocated space at the "tail end" of the SSD. I actually need that extra space since the system partition is running out of room.

So instead of disk-level restore, I tried partition level options, which do give me the option to resize the partitions. But there's a small critical problem - ATI does not let me select the destination SSD (greyed out) for the [MBR Track 0] partition. I am forced to unselect the MBR and only restore the system and recovery partitions, but that unsurprisingly leaves it unbootable.

How can I restore to the SSD with the MBR while resizing the system partition?

Aaron, go back to doing a disk level restore of your SSD backup image to the new NVMe SSD - ignore the resizing issue for the moment.

Once you have completed the restore, then when you see unallocated space on the new drive after booting into Windows, download a copy of the free MiniTool Partition Wizard software, install this in Windows, then use it to move the Recovery partition(s) to the end of the unallocated space on the drive, then resize the Windows partition to use the now available space.  Click on the Apply button to make the changes when done.
Note: this will probably also require a Windows restart to complete the changes.

Hey Steve, I eventually went the lazy route and deleted the recovery partition and extended the system volume to fill up the subsequent blank space. 8)

Given that this OS has a "very old soul" - has been around since Windows Vista and upgraded through all the versions to this day - I figured I'll never perform a Reset to start from scratch for this computer. When I start afresh it'll likely be a brand new computer altogether. (This old hardware can't support Windows 11)

Anyway thanks for the reference; I will likely need that for other computers in the future!
