Don't know if it will work, but that's what I would try. Posted 14 December - PM. Thanks Wildabeast, was hoping someone else would comment on your idea. Im not sure and can not find info on how to copy to a smaller drive. Posted 15 December - AM. Doesnt look right to me. Others may still have some input and further methods , but you can only try - nothing lost nothing gained.

Posted 15 December - PM. Thanks Havachat. I found this tool Posted 16 December - AM. Posted 16 December - PM. Posted 17 December - AM. I've only used author web sites, oldversion. I do not know filepuma -- others will have to weigh in. Check oldversion, oldapps, filehippo first. I'll wait a bit to see if others weigh in Checking if you have basic or dynamic disks. Source disk volumes can be cloned to the target disk "as is" or resized proportionally.

It is possible to clone a larger disk to a smaller one, provided that the smaller hard disk has enough capacity to fit the contents of the larger disk. Otherwise, your computer might not start from the new hard drive. If you clone a disk with Windows to an external USB hard drive, you might not be able to boot from it. Hardware RAIDs and storage spaces can be cloned provided the environment where Acronis products are running e.

Acronis development team is working on improving hardware RAID support in bootable environment. Older versions of True Image HD used a digit product key for registration of the program. This step is no longer required for the current version of the software. As long as a supported Crucial drive is connected to the system, True Image for Crucial will now install without registration. Other features present in the menus, such as Backup , Sync , and Dashboard , will require updating to an unrestricted Acronis product at www.

After purchasing a license for a full Acronis product, support for these features will be provided by Acronis support. There is a lot of hype about the newest addition to the Microsoft Windows Operating System saga. One bonus to this release is that it is a free upgrade to many of us that use Windows 8.

Is it a worthy upgrade? Is it a trustworthy upgrade? There has been a lot of Beta testing so by all rights it should be released into the wild as a stable and worthy upgrade especially if it free. The dilemma I have, and I suppose many others, is that I use my laptop for work and have many applications installed that I am not sure will play well with Windows 10 so I refuse to simply click the upgrade button without some safeguards in place but I do want to try the new OS.

The best solution to the Windows 10 dilemma that I could think of is to clone the laptop hard drive with Acronis True Image to ensure that if things go awry with the upgrade I can go back to my stable Windows 8.

Alternatively, you could take an image of the drive. I prefer cloning but I have no problem changing a hard drive. If you do not feel comfortable changing a hard drive, take an image instead. Whatever you decide to do, make sure your PC is backed up before clicking that upgrade button.

I found this new icon in the system tray that Microsoft somehow managed to put there without my knowledge and I just had to click on it. Now that the files are downloaded, I will make sure that I have a full data backup and start the cloning process so the installation files are on both drives.
