In2Photos: Because, as I noted above, I only have one M2.SSD slot and that's occupied by my system disk.

Question Disk Cloning question

Guys, thanks for your further comments. Regarding dual-booting generally, I've had 7,10 and 11 all on one SATA HDD some time back. I've also had 7 and 10 dual booting from an M2 SSD. But I must have used GPT partitioning and had the BIOS set the same way, without knowing I needed to. My current...

Question Disk Cloning question

Heads up: Nope, no joy. Rufus worked OK and I copied the Win10 iso there in MBR mode, but the problem is that the target drive's three partitions - System.Reserved, C and the new partition - are all MBR and W10 will only install to GPT. Apparently you can't change only one partition to GPT...

Question Disk Cloning question

TheELF: Thanks, I'll grab the latest version and try it. EDIT: Ooops. Rufus latest version is 4.5 but last version that works with W7 is 3.22. I guess I could have prepped the USB in a W10 pc using 4.5 but I thought maybe it then might not work in installing the W10 iso in my W7 machine. So I'll...

Question Disk Cloning question

mikeymicek: Thanks for your comments. You may be right about the W10 install balking due to the setup of the installation media. I most often use Rufus, but in this case I used Ventoy. It's on a 32GB Apacer USB3. It hadn't occurred to me that I could select the installation to be either MBR or...

Question Disk Cloning question

Actually, my requirement is a little more complex. The C system drive holds W7. I plan to shrink its partition and create another partition, around 125GB, in which I'll install W10 and have a dual boot system. This allows me to keep my W7 system and experiment with W10. But because the SSD M2...

Question Does anyone recall this post?

For what? "a guy who'd incorporated several W10 drivers into his W7 install media."? That''s why I asked if anyone recalls seeing this post.

Question Does anyone recall this post?

Around 18 months ago (I think) there was a post somewhere on the forum by a guy who'd incorporated several W10 drivers into his W7 install media. Anyone recall this? Or know if it's still around?

JackMDS, thanks. And re your advice about 'upgrading' to W10, that's not gonna happen while a certain section of my anatomy points downwards. Cheers ;)
