Cloning the DAW hard drive....? - 10/11/16 07:28 PM
Well....
I'm thinking about cloning my Win7 DAW hard drive to a larger capacity SATA drive.
So....I did some research (freeware cloning apps) today and downloaded this free cloning app that does have good reviews for my straight forward cloning purpose.

A few years ago (with Win7) many were having issues in that the target drive that was cloned now became designated at NOT a genuine Windows copy.
I presume that issue has been resolved by now but don't know if others are still experiencing the problem?
I wallow in ignorance and terrified I'll screw something up in the process.
Any recommendations/suggestions/issues/pitfalls/tips for a coward like myself will be appreciated?
Thanks in advance....
