upgrade hard drive general questions
I am running out of room on my harddrive so I bought a 1TB drive and want to put it in. I am watching videos on Youtube and it seems straightforward but I have a couple questions.
1. I upgraded to Windows 10 when I first got the machine - so if I use Alieware Respawn will it keep Windows 10 (and will it still be registered)?
Or
2. Could I use Clonezilla? Then I can right the image to to the new big hard drive. If that would work I wouldn't have to reinstall apps etc. Has anyone tried using that instead of Respawn?
Thanks

" Alieware Respawn " does not keep windows 10 upgrades. It may in fact not work at all because upgrades Break things.
Clean Installing 10 will stay registered.
I recommend AOEMI One Key

I recommend AOMEI OKR too for i have been using it for over 2 years and it serves me very well. As for your situation, you can make a backup of OS using it firstly, and then insert your new disk and restore form the backup to your new hard drive. Remember to change your boot device from the old drive to the new one when you finish.
