So here I am one again in the middle of it all. Trying to clone a small ssd to a bigger one I've tried most of the cloners mentioned only to find they all have hitches or fail to work at all. One requires you to post a comment on social media before you can use it. Even that failed.
 
Paragon's migrate has no free trial and I won't pay for something that ultimately fails to do the job.
 
Finally got EaseUS to go without a hitch only to find it never completed the task. Now I can't boot at all. Period!
 
Now I'm trying to create win10 bootable media on a win7 machine and that's not working.
 
Good luck guys!

All I can say is that cloning and backup/imaging tools are two different animals.
 
Use the cloning and migration tools supplied by the vendor of your new disk drive.  I had no issues using the Samsung magician tools to clone my WD HDD (80GB) onto a Samsung SSD (250GB).

It's abit late for that now (I'd have to download it after the fact).
 
What I need is a way to fix the boot sector on the original boot drive since it won't boot or load windows.
 
I was going thru F12 to set the boot path but I've apparently done it so many times it will no longer let me go there.
 
I have no DVD drive so my only options are vNIC or USB, which I can no longer do due to the above.
