It is not possible to clone a Windows C: drive and boot from the clone. Oh, plenty of info will say it's possible, but it's not.

It is not possible.

Huh. It used to be, but it’s been a long time since I did it.

You can clone the drive and boot it, but i has to be the entire disk, use Acronis or some other Disk imaging tool and then just write the clone on the other disk and it should work, though windows licenses will usually become invalid

I remember using revrdist on mac 20+ years ago in the computer lab to keep the Macs running perfectly. Windows machines were always a pain.

Nuclear option has begun! (yes, the old sys drive is still bootable if I need to revert) https://cdn.nostr.build/i/18a1357eaaa106f8ba10f2ee40c6ec52cabfca6403ea6592d271b4a05d845041.jpg

The last time I tried to do something like that, I gave up in defeat. And then I accidentally wiped a partition I wanted to save (not badly, thankfully) when trying to fix it.

The question is why would you want to?
