I have mentioned above that I had already found the workaround by creating an image ... I was doing that for a laptop over a year ago ... but used my Win7 desktop to do that at the time since having several SATA connections on the motherboard meant not being limited by USB2 or 3 speeds .. I also used Win2USB to create a bootable USB Win 10 drive and replaced the onboard installation with Tiny10.
DiskGenius will now be my GoTo disk clone media ... I did think of Gparted since one can clone partitions from Drive to Drive but that also opens a new box of worms getting the partition info / labelling correct ... not to mention bootable .. but that is another option for another time ...
I was really happy with Hasleo until I found that free doesn't mean free ... I only need to clone or backup occasionally, most of my time being on other forums or researching why things don't work ... and I was only too happy to promote Hasleo when it was appropriate for the thread ... This latest revelation changed all that ... most apps that ran from XP through to 7 would run on next generation versions of Windows ... and to date my most used apps go back that far .. which is why they are still being used by me ...
