Problems cloning hard drives

[Kingslayer Kyle]

Sup guys, currently experiencing some issues whilst cloning from a smaller to a larger hard drive (operating system)

 

For some reason it won't boot, Up to yet I have tried Acronis True Image and Macrium Reflect,

 

I chose the source disk (my old windows drive) and the destination drive (the new hard drive that I wanted to clone to)

 

When trying to boot up the new drive is just acts as if windows isn't installed...

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks in advance for any help

Try again by deleting everything from your new HDD including all the partitions. Make sure the program is up to date.

Sounds like you're missing a bootloader. Why not reinstall Windows?

Every time I have cloned the drive the destination drive has been completely wiped (Including partitions) and they are up to date.

There's too many programs/settings that I really don't want to have to set up from scratch again

I used this, it worked pretty much straight away

It's a possibility your drive is GPT and the program you're using is not supporting it, so it skips the bootloader.

Yeah that's what I thought, I think the boot disk that I used was able to fix that issue though
