I'm sure this has been asked before but after much reading on the site I'm still not sure what to do. Will be using EasyBCD 2.4 (free ed).
Need to create a copy of my W10 HDD - let's call it 'Blue' - b/c I want to use the same drive for another, new W10 install for my new Ryzen build. So I'll be overwriting Blue. I copied C: and some system partition to another HDD - call it Ss - but of course it won't boot due to UEFI. That drive previously had a W7 Pro 64b on it but I used Macrium Reflect, copied the 2 partitions off Blue to Ss. Now when I try to boot Ss I get 'BOOTMGR is missing' & press Cntrl + Alt + Del'...
Do I run EasyBCD off usb and choose BU/Repair (restore?) and repair/recreate boot files? Since UEFI was never written to this drive I can't modify UEFI entries. I'd like to keep things UEFI. OR is it BCD Deployment button and presumedly 'install W10 bootloader'?
(Waiting 'till end of month to grab an SSD, FYI.)
Appreciate any feedback. Dying to get this 'copy' of my OS drive working so I can get on w/the build.
Thanks in advance,
Mac
