Got a little behind in this from the weekend things to do.
So, I was going to pick up a 2T internal drive for testing this but decided to get a 4T Blue Western Digital. I will likely partition it later on for storage. So, what I have here is a Win 11 home machine (up to date ) with an internal 2T SSD and a 1T SSD as a secondary. Have never done a system recovery, so does, and will it actually work.
First test I removed the 2T, and plugged in the 4T on same cables. I made the recovery image available and rebooted. Went into the bios to make sure boot order was correct etc . Went through the process of finding the correct image and in the end i got RESTORE FAILED DIFFERENT FIRMWARE Image created EFI Computer using BIOS. So I must have missed something, maybe in the bios as this drive was initialized and formatted on this EFI PC
Whie you think that over I successfully did a recovery afterwards using MACRIUM . Went smoothly until I rebooted . Ended up with the longest boot up in my history followed my slowness across the board. Like a digital slug, or my VIC 20.
