I've used EasyBCD and Partition Wizard, but not to do this function. It's nice to have the reference. Hope it helps the OP too. |

The only thing I'd add to this, is do a full disk backup before you start. Always expect the unexpected. Paul |

Well, maybe. If its a dual boot system it only has one System Volume (the location for the booting files for both o/s). The operating systems Win7 and Win8.1 are on the Boot Volumes. In a typical dual boot system the drive onto which the first operating system was installed contains the System Volume. If 8.1 is on a different drive then its booting files will not be present if you clone the 8.1 o/s drive. (i.e. after cloning to the SSD it won't boot). It might be prudent to read up on System and Boot Volume and ensure you clone what you need to or you'll end up having to repair or reinstall 8.1 with a System Volume to get it to boot. -- ...winston msft mvp consumer apps |
