  1. Question Anyone presently using EaseUS for cloning Windows?

    Yeah, "Wow," is a pretty honest reaction to this mess.
  2. Question Anyone presently using EaseUS for cloning Windows?

    I eventually used Macrium Reflect to get the clone copy of Win 11, but I won't even bore you with all that happened when I tried to boot from the external drive containing the clone copy. In short, it was a disaster that we still haven't recovered from. The mint Dell M4700 in question came...
  3. Question Anyone presently using EaseUS for cloning Windows?

    As the old M4700 is presently [employing my best German] "kaput," I'm no longer thinking about the old laptop ... or its cloned image, which I now believe is of no use. Considering that we're down to only one PC now, the new Dell 7630 laptop, I want to find a PC cloning utility that will...
  4. Question Anyone presently using EaseUS for cloning Windows?

    The part about Mac OS was an aside. I'm still being told that what I've done for years now can be done with a PC via Macrium Reflect. I'm presently using BIOS and Macrium Reflect. I've been at this for days now, so I really don't wish to waste time arguing about semantics. Have a great evening.
  5. Question Anyone presently using EaseUS for cloning Windows?

    Well, as you may recall, the thread started out as cloning thread and the present issue is a cloning issue. I assumed that cloning was a "storage" issue, and this is a storage forum board. I'm not sure why a Macrium Reflect discussion belongs on a Windows board? In my many years on web...
  6. Question Anyone presently using EaseUS for cloning Windows?

    Long story short, the M4700 has an intermittent hardware issue - probably GPU related - that is getting worse and worse. At this point, I've put the machine to the side ( temporarily ) and have employed a newer Dell Inspiron 16 7630 with a Win XP VM experiment in mind. As described in Post 15...
  7. Question Anyone presently using EaseUS for cloning Windows?

    I'd be more than happy to try a reset. How is that done?
  8. Question Anyone presently using EaseUS for cloning Windows?

    Well, cancel that. After I used the Win 11 shut down command: I never saw video again. At this point, I've run the Dell screen/display test [Power Button + D]. The machine passes that test, which means that the display panel didn't suddenly fail. This is very good news, but, at this point...
  9. Question Anyone presently using EaseUS for cloning Windows?

    Okay, so I downloaded Macrium Reflect Free 8 (MRF8) to one of our Macs, copied it to a USB thumb drive and pasted it into the Dell M4700 PC laptop that I'll be working with. From there, I installed MRF8, hooked up our USB HDD archive dock to the M4700 and cloned the internal SSD to the target...
  10. Question Anyone presently using EaseUS for cloning Windows?

    I've been away from all things Windows for over a dozen years, so please go easy on me. I do remember some not so pleasant things from the old days, however, so I'm trying to inch my way back into the Windows way of doing things...
  11. Question Anyone presently using EaseUS for cloning Windows?

    Thanks MX Nerd ~ As it's a bit older, do you think that EaseUS Disk Copy 2.3.1 will work in the Windows 11 OS environment?
  12. Question Anyone presently using EaseUS for cloning Windows?

    Referencing the bolded bit of the quote (above), is there a way to move an entire image from one internal drive to another internal drive in Win 11? If there is, perhaps I could find a cable that will allow me to connect one of our SATA HDDs to the SATA bus inside of our Dell M4700 PC laptop...
  13. Question Anyone presently using EaseUS for cloning Windows?

    Thank you for posting. Do you recall if either EaseUS Disk Copy or CloneZilla allowed one to clone a bootable clone image to an external USB drive (like our archive HDD)? Once again, I'd like to be able to boot from the external USB drive.
  14. Question Anyone presently using EaseUS for cloning Windows?

    We have a project involving old utilities going all the way back to Win XP and Win 7. Before starting the project, I'd like to clone the Win 11 OS on the SSD in our old PC laptop to an archive HDD ... and, come to think of it, I'd really like to clone any of the Windows operating systems that...
  15. Looking for the Lenovo folks

    Well, after reading these posts, the verdict's in: the Mrs hates Macs and I can't even get her to go near one. 😂 I can still recall spending more hours than I care to admit to - waaay back in my PC building days - working out why this driver or that driver wasn't working properly ... and...
  16. Looking for the Lenovo folks

    I'm a MacBook Pro (MBP) owner, so, other than the Mrs' "work" PC laptops, I have had zero contact with them since circa 2010. I'm no hardware brand name warrior, but the anti-glare and retina displays, keyboards and the track pads I've been using, since I built my last PC tower, have been much...
  17. Looking for the Lenovo folks

    After much "discussion" with the Mrs about getting a laptop PC of our own - she has gotten very used to the one she got from work - I'm thinking about looking for a good Lenovo laptop that can be upgraded. If any of the Lenovo people on the Laptop board could steer me toward an "upgradeable"...
  18. Where do we expect gas prices to be later this month, now that election is over?

    I haven't visited this forum in quite a while, but I clicked on the "Your content" link and was brought back to this [incredibly varied] thread. As ever, it's hard to believe that there are people on a tech forum who will take a slam on our pathetic two-party system so personally. I mean...
  19. Where do we expect gas prices to be later this month, now that election is over?

    It never ceases to amaze me how folks have no problem polarizing one another in a thread like this. The OP asked a simple question and very few people took the time to consider a simple answer. The "parties" are not our friends. In fact, the cost of living in the US clearly demonstrates that...
  20. Question Using an old ATX case for an E-ATX motherboard?

    Dlerious .... I was just reading this one again and I'm not sure what you mean by, "...about the size of three 5.25" drives." Would you mind elaborating on this for me?
  21. Question Using an old ATX case for an E-ATX motherboard?

    I believe that you're right, the fans in the bottom/front section of the case are relatively small. I'm fortunate to have come from a place where folks had to make the most out of what they had, so working with metal, including AL, is definitely a possibility. The fact that even the modern...
  22. Question Using an old ATX case for an E-ATX motherboard?

    Except for the logos, it looks like pretty much exactly like the old case we used back in the day. If you read the review, under the drawing, you'll understand that an AL case like this, being relatively light weight, will make some noise. This is why I added adhesive-backed sound deadener --...
  23. Question Using an old ATX case for an E-ATX motherboard?

    Although it has absolutely no markings anywhere on it, the case in the photo was purchased "as is" and, yes, an E-ATX motherboard will physically fit into this case. I was just asking the PC builders on the forum [pardon the pun] "board" if they've experienced problems/issues when trying to...
  24. Question Using an old ATX case for an E-ATX motherboard?

    The all-aluminum case is roughly 17" Tall x 18" W x 8" Deep and it has absolutely no ID markings. There's no ST switch, just a momentary push button, so it's clearly ATX. The MSI K8N Neo 2 Platinum Motherboard installed is [roughly] 9.5" W x 12" Tall.
  25. Question Using an old ATX case for an E-ATX motherboard?

    @OlyAR15 : Are you saying that the "mounting pattern" throughout the various sizes of motherboards is standardized? Needless to say, an ATX case was never intended to house an E-ATX sized mobo, but, if there are enough holes in the bigger board that match with the threaded standoffs that came...
  26. Question Using an old ATX case for an E-ATX motherboard?

    Good job, @igor_kavinski, you've discovered the other motherboard on our short list! The problem with that board, however, is that it comes with quite the "Asus Tax" attached to it. In other words, it will cost more than we budgeted for in a motherboard.
  27. Question Using an old ATX case for an E-ATX motherboard?

    The "sticking point' is that we've been Mac users for over a decade now and, in that time, we've accumulated Thunderbolt (TB) peripherals that have proven to be pretty valuable to us. As we don't wish to lose that capability, it's right up there near the top of our "want list" in a PC. Very...
  28. Question Using an old ATX case for an E-ATX motherboard?

    We've got an old all-aluminum (silver) ATX case that we pulled out of mothballs for a new PC build project. The problem is that our "Want List" seems to be pushing us toward an E-ATX form factor mobo. I've carefully measured the internals of our old case and, much to my surprise, the bigger...
  29. Question How to determine bona fide NVMe M.2 SSDs?

    @Tech Junky : Do you happen to have any thoughts on the so-called "minicomputers" that I've seen advertised? I've often thought that our next Mac machine would probably be a Mac Mini, so I suppose that a small PC shouldn't be that much of a stretch, right? I'll try to explain what my research...
  30. Question How to determine bona fide NVMe M.2 SSDs?

    Well, if nothing else, I'm certainly learning a lot on this thread. :) We actually own a Startech "docking station" that allows four 3.25" SATA HDDs to be docked at once. The Mrs has (2) 2TB HHDs inserted into that docking station and, yep, they're both completely full of archived data. It's...
  31. Question How to determine bona fide NVMe M.2 SSDs?

    This is great advice, but the laptop in question will be used to perform certain functions that can only be accomplished via a PC. In other words, we can't get the same legacy utilities for Mac OS X that we can for a PC; hence, the reason we need a PC. I understand that we can always simply...
  32. Question How to determine bona fide NVMe M.2 SSDs?

    @Tech Junky : I appreciate the kind and informative response. My reading is telling me that the Gen 4 NVMe SSDs often have heating issues, especially inside of a very tight laptop -- like the HP ProBook 440 G8 I mentioned -- so I've been focusing on reputable Gen 3 NVMe SSDs...and, as you...
  33. Question How to determine bona fide NVMe M.2 SSDs?

    Until roughly a month ago, I thought that SATA SSDs were the ultimate data storage devices. We've been Mac users for over a decade and, consequently, our primary machines are two MacBook Pros, which we've been using for years with no complaints. During the lockdown, however, we decided that we...
  34. Making Use of an old HP Laptop?

    I took the machine apart again tonight and, unfortunately, HP really meant it when they wrote "slim design." You would probably be lucky to get a couple of business cards between the top of the NVMe M.2 2280 SSD and the bottom cover of the case...so anything acting as a heat sink will have to...
  35. Making Use of an old HP Laptop?

    Yep, I already watched those videos and wrote to one of those guys hoping for some information, but nothing yet. I appreciate the link, regardless. :beermug:
  36. Making Use of an old HP Laptop?

    I'm still reading up on the differences between the myriad of NVMe M.2 SSDs on the market, but I want to ask the forum members an important question about the HP ProBook 440 G8. Does anyone know if there's enough clearance in this laptop to allow for a heat sink on top of the storage memory...
  37. Making Use of an old HP Laptop?

    @tcsenter : Do you have any recommendations for us? We're essentially looking to put our hard-earned into parts that are durable/reliable, reasonably fast and won't be totally outdated in a few months....which is why your words about possibly employing a Gen 4 NVMe M.2 SSD had real appeal for...
  38. Making Use of an old HP Laptop?

    As I mentioned in Post No. 10, I haven't really gotten into the internals of a PC since the good ol' Win XP days....but I have cloned the storage drive on our MacBook Pro (MBP) before. This required the install of a utility called Carbon Copy Cloner (CCC), and it works very well in the Mac OS X...
  39. Brain damaged BestBuy TV shopper

    Okay, so first things first, I must give credit to @mindless1 for his simple suggestion (for a simple old veteran). I used the AirPlay function on our MacBook Pro to play Igor's "OLED Burn In Checker (4K)" YouTube video...and, yes, I did see some very faint images in lower-right corner and...
  40. Making Use of an old HP Laptop?

    I'm not sure about that, but the same PCB can be purchased without the heat sink. The point is how expensive it is, relative to the newer memory, which says a lot to me. Given what I've been reading, the older Gen 3 Samsung 970 Pro NVMe M.2 SSD PCB I linked you to is very highly thought of. I...
