Sketchrender Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 As the title suggests. I have looked and it seems that it is possible, but what are pitfalls, what software is tied to the Motherboard? It's a for a duplicate machine, never to be used at the same time. A back up only, my main machine went down recently and I was left hanging for a week.

Francisco Penaloza Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 When you clone HD everything transfer pretty good actually. But if you change the motherboard, then you'll have to update licensing of several software, starting with Windows. I have been moving all my computers to SSD and I use the cloning software that come with it (Samsung) and everything stay the same. I also have Norton ghost... but I have not used yet.

Sketchrender Posted April 14, 2016 Author Share Posted April 14, 2016 I did the same only a few months ago SATA to SSD, and used the software that came with it. Incidentally, I got a new motherboard also last week, and the drives just slotted in and a new Windows 10 hardware key too, and all went very smoothly this time it's SSD to SSD.......... I will let you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francisco Penaloza Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 hum, good to know about windows, last time I had to change my motherboard I had to call Microsoft to let me update the license... it was very stupid to deal with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
