Windows 11 - cloning HDD query
Over the last 5-7 years I've been using Home backup/cloning s/w for all my drives. Does anyone know/investigated if there's any problems/traps with cloning drives under Windows 11 with TPM, dr...
Cloning a drive that is encrypted or relies on TPM can lead to boot failures if the clone does not replicate the security keys or if the hardware environment changes significantly.
Solution: Cloning the entire drive (including the system partition and TPM-related data) is crucial. Cloning only data partitions without the system/boot partition often won't work.
