transfer Win10 to new computer
Posted: Sat Jul 06, 2024 11:17 pm
Old win 10 computer, BIOS
New computer, UEFI, Win 11
Copied Win10 partition to new computer, requested "make boot menu".
Boot menu creation errored, not created. I have this fail a lot.
Manually created new directory [.002] and files.
Edited BCD items to point to Win 10
When booting Win10, boots to screen asking for keyboard layout, select US.
Then get screen "Choose an option", Troubleshoot or turn off. No attempt to repair drivers, etc.
Choose "troubleshoot", "startup repair", this fails to fix.
When I checked "rename directories" in Boot edit, this did allowed Win to try and repair/change drives, etc. Good.
But this also failed. Not so good.
I have transferred Win 10 to other computers before and Win 10 fixes/installs all necessary drivers for booting. Transfers work remarkably well.
Not this time.
This is not a TeraByte app issue, but expert Win transfer advice is welcomed.
Suggestions.
