Worked alright using Acronis True Image. Should have used it in first place as there was a free copy with the WD drive.

Going to try clone again using Acronis to see if result is any better. I assume once cline is complete all i need to do is change boot order in bios. Surely it should all work then!

Can i do this from an ADMIN DOS session with Windows 11 running? If Win 10 is on M: and 11 is on N: Have already given UEFI vol on new drive a designation of S: Do i just then type "bcdboot N:\windows /s S: /f UEFI" and then "bcdboot M:\windows /s S: /f UEFI" Assume i then change 1st boot drive...

Jimbo. Got no Dos option on the Macrium boot disk unfortunately. You can now see my disk partitions above. Where you mention E and G i assume it will be M and N for my setup

New M2 is disk 4. Currently running dual booty on disk 0

Booted to Macrium disk ok and it found the 2 versions of windows ok. It attempted to repair BCD but still had same issue. It gets to the boot menu when it asks you to select W10 or 11 and then fails to boot. Its ok if i reconnect the origianal SSD though.

I have windows 10 and 11 dual booting to an ssd. As drive space low on the ssd i purchased an M2 ssd and cloned it using Macrium. Have changed boot order in Bios to new M2 drive and i get prompted ok asking whether i want windows 10 or 11 but whichever i select fails and eventually get blue...

Well thanks again for your help and advice. Didnt expect it get resolved that easy. Mind you all previous upgrades or reinstalls have all gone to plan and activated via MS servers.

Thank you all for your help and support in resolving this. Have resorted to the gatherosstate dance option which worked ok and Windows now shows as activated. Im not sure how legitimate this is but at least i don't have to do another clean install. Will mark as solved.

Does the gatherosstate dance option work ok on Windows 11 as well? Any instructions?

Reloaded again keeping apps and files but same issue with activation. Looks like i may have to acquire a new licence if i want to run 11.

Tend to agree now. What procedure would you recommend? Shall i format the partition currently holding Win 11 and then boot to the USB drive and do a reinstall as before on formatted partition. Is it best to leave ethernet unplugged until upgrade complete?

Attempting repair option but get message below. I have renamed appraissers.dll file and created new file with 0kb. Not having much luck at the moment

disk confirmed as GPT

Might be only left option then. My cpu is a Intel 7xxx series . Got tpm and secure boit. Would the unsupported Cpu stop activation? If not would the repair option pick up the non supported cpu?
