Clone a Windows 2016 Server HDD to a bootable SSD for replacement/backup
Does Server 2016 have an easy way to clone the HDD to an SSD, including replicating the drive partitions so that the drive can be simply swapped out of the machine? And a way to save a backup clone in case of that drive's failure? I saw articles about using Sysprep to prepare an image but that doesnt provide for making sure the recovery partition is cloned, nor does it ensure that the machine will be bootable. Can it perhaps take a hardware fingerprint to make sure its being used for one particular machine? If the solution is a 3rd party cloning tool, what is recommended? Thanks!
How to install Windows 10 on NVMe SSD on old PC? Since old computers don't load NVMe SSD drives when
How to install Windows 10 on NVMe SSD on old PC? Since old computers don't load NVMe SSD drives when they start up, the way I think about it is to load them during BCDBoot? But I don't know how. Because the hardware of the old computer is not configured with NVMe SSD OPROM or EFI driver, but I found that win10 installation disk can load NVMe SSD and normal use of NVMe SSD, which indicates that in the process of win10 startup can still be joined by software NVMe SSD driver and use this hardware device, Hardware can be loaded at operating system boot, just as the SCSI card driver was previously loaded when installing the Windows operating system.
