Clone a laptop drive
You shouldn't have any problem with it. The activation goes on line to do it. wrote in message ...

After putting the new drive in (with the old drive out, in case your laptop has slots for more than one), it should boot right up like the old one. You may get the prompt to activate Windows because of new hardware being found. That happened on my Vista machine, but not on my XP one when I upgraded the hard drives. SC Tom Thanks again. I just hope Microsoft wouldn't give me a problem because I've added new hardware. wrote in message . .. Am I correct in that all I would have to do is pop in the clone and, with no further ado, I would be all set to go? Also, can I use a larger drive to clone than is in my laptop now?

I have Acronis True Image 11. Reason: If my laptop drive ever goes south, I should just be able to pop the cloned drive in and off we go. I need some detailed guidance on how to do this. The instructions that come with True Image will walk you through it. It's easy to follow, and you will thank yourself for learning it later on. SC Tom
