​@@BracerJack for when it says "you can save a state for when your computer was just purchased and another where all the programs you needed are installed so you can revert to that snapshot instead so that you don't have to reinstall all your programs again" what would the point be to revert to the second one, when you are practically in the same state as it already, with all your programs and files existing already??? 🤨

Hi Bracer Jack In the beginning, when we are supposed to connect an external portable drive to the laptop to store the snapshot system image, how big (of a storage space) should the portable drive be? In your example you used a drive that was 465gb, but can I use a simple thumb drive that is only 16gb in size? Is the size of the snapshot dictated by the amount of programs I may or may not be including in the snapshot? What is the average size of a snapshot? I guess I’m asking these questions to figure out if I need to buy a new external portable drive for this. Thank you very much Bracer Jack.

[@BracerJack]

Assuming you didn't install anything extra or that the laptop didn't come with too much bloatware, a 32GB capacity drive should be enough :D And you cannot choose which programs to include in the snapshot, this method clones EVERYTHING, you have no choice in the matter :D

[@BracerJack]

You can definitely do it using a thumbdrive but please understand this. Cloning to a thumbdrive can be excruciatingly slow, so slow that you might even think something is wrong ! But cloning to an external SSD is done in mere minutes. So...choose your fate :D Assuming you have not installed anything too big and everything is as pure as can be including all usually required drivers, the file size should be about 18.6 GB. The masterboot USB which is another separate device, only requires 600mb.

@@BracerJack And I would like to add something that when we go to the step of deleting partitions, you can leave the partition Data(D) undeleted, which is better so as not to lose your data.

[@BracerJack]

@@monkeh2453 hmmm, I hear you. As for me, I backup my personal data to an external drive so that when the purification is done, it is REALLY pure. However, if you feel this works for you, then go ahead :-)

I did another clone but this time when I installed my hdd in my other identical computer I got an error code: Your PC device needs to be repaired. oxcooooooe. Then I got another one about 'Secure Boot violation. Invalid signature detected.' Can you help me here Bracer Jack? I don't understand why I have problems this time around when everything went so smoothly the last time???

[@BracerJack]

Wait...let me see...you switch the hard drive, put it in another computer and it doesn't work on that computer ? I am not sure if I get what you mean.... Do you have what'sApp ? I can maybe guide you along in a video chat.

[@mycdnprince]

@@BracerJack I have two identical computers (Acer). I cloned one drive to the other following your instructions. I then took the cloned drive and installed it in computer #2 and instead of it working perfectly as before (three weeks ago) I got these error messages I've shared with you above. I don't have what'sApp but I could install it... but then I don't have a microphone. Sorry about this, I just thought you might know off-hand what the problem is here. I must have done something wrong this time around but don't know what?

[@BracerJack]

@@mycdnprince Instead of recloning and then physically replacing the harddrive, put the harddrive in first and then reclone it from there. It's hard to debug this for me unless I can see what is really going on.

[@BracerJack]

@@mycdnprince What's app installs on the phone, not computer, so your phone will definitely have a mic. Ha ha ha

Difference between macrium premium and free version? Is premium worth?

You might be able to find the description of their differences in their website :-)

God I wish I found out this video before, using my first time ever laptop 😭😭

[@BracerJack]

If it is still new(ish), make the clone while it is new ! You can download the home use non-commercial free version here: mega.nz/file/6r5wQJYL#jcansb2R7cMb1pMZ7AxS9O2FjhKR-HoDo5qt48moSUk

How manu gb do i need for portable usb ?

[@BracerJack]

Try 30GB or more to be on the safe side for clone images. For the master boot USB, 4GB thumbdrive is enough :D

Sir how to download a MACRIUM REFLECT?

[@BracerJack]

Go to: www.macrium.com/reflectfree# and download Reflect 8 Free Trial After you have made the clone you can un-install the program, you wouldn't need it anymore since the clone is done. Hope that helps.

[@humayoonnazer4938]

How did yours only take 2.29 mins, mine is taking like 1.5 hours

[@BracerJack]

Let me guess...you did it using a thumbdrive ? Thumbdrive backup can be excruciatingly slow because of the transfer rate.

[@humayoonnazer4938]
