I have Win7 and Win 10 installed on my notebook, because some special applications unfortunately work only under Win7.
With Acronis, I've cloned the HDD, on which both functieren and boot easily, on a new mSATA SSD.
Windows 7 starts on the SSD without problems, but Win10 hangs when booting, the blue screen with date / time flickers in an endless loop and no input helps, only the radical shutdown.
If I then boot again with the HDD, makes Win10 before booting a volume check / repair this SSD, but afterwards the same result.
Do you have to pay particular attention when cloning on an mSATA SSD or is it due to special features with Windows10?
Both systems are the 64bit Pro versions.
It could be because the boot loader is on the other hard disk. I'm not sure, though. The best thing would be to completely reinstall both systems on the SSD.
But when cloning everything is completely copied from the old to the new hard drive, as would have to come along the boot loader, right?
It is also possible that there was a copy error and files were corrupted. It is rarer in Acronis than other tools, but I have experienced in one of 50 cases already.
So maybe pull a new image of the HDD and repeat the whole thing.
An alternative (if the special programs allow it) is to cleanly install Win 10 and run Win 7 only as a virtual machine.
Win 7 is from next year thanks to lack of security updates no longer safe with Internet access available and should not be "lying around" as a second operating system, there are viruses that attack other Windows installations while Win 10 is running.
May I ask what applications are working on Windows 7, but not on Windows 10?
These are several programs for my astronomy hobby; so the control of my Goto mount via "Stallarium" works only with Win7, but the Guiding again only with Win10, because there are also various driver problems.
I tried a virtual machine first, but there are USB connectivity issues. The alternative with the two BS is the better compromise.
