[Ch...] Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 I have several times at home and it's not that hard. There are tons of good tutorials on Google/Youtube. EDIT: I just checked, and I use Macrium at home. Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/13606-clone-or-mirror-drive/#findComment-69766 Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ro...] Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 You should also create a backup of your system settings by going to EXTRAS>SETTINGS>MISCELLANEOUS then clicking on the Maintenance tab and clicking save. Save a copy to a network drive or thumb. Itll save all your probes & rack data, your Calypso settings, your .GRA report files, pretty much everything about your Calypso setup but the programs. So save the programs also. Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/13606-clone-or-mirror-drive/#findComment-69768 Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ia...] Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 I've done this before for personal use, I believe the software I used was called Magician. I remember it being a great product, but it was awhile ago.

[Me...] Posted February 3, 2021 Author Share Posted February 3, 2021 I'm going from a windows 7 machine to a 10. So we are cloning over the works to a new computer. Plus we are upgrading to others to 10. Trying to watch out for bugs. Thanks Roberto, I forgot about the backup. Crazy 'cause I'm a backup geek.

I've done it before, and you might get an error the first time you try to connect, but after that it will work.

[Ch...] Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 I probably wouldn't listen to me, (I tell myself that all the time), but If I got a new computer and was going from windows 7 to windows 10, then I wouldn't go thru the trouble of using a clone/mirror software. Just extra unnecessary time. Backup the usual files and just replace them once you do a default install of Windows and Calypso.
