Imaging a dynamic disk

Tackle_Berry · 15 Jun 2015 at 11:06

I'm trying to image my office PC so I can put in a SSD. I have used Macrium reflect in the passed to do this on my PC but it doesn't support dynamic disks which this is (no idea why it's setup as dynamic).

Can anyone recommend me software to this, preferably free. Also is it possible to image this dynamic disk and when restoring it to the SSD if I could put it as a normal disk?

Give Windows PE a try, should do everything you need.

Macrium Full edition can do this.

Pay for it if you're using it, UK company

It looks like it's only the business or server edition that support dynamic and they're crazy money.

The Home version supports dynamic disks.

Easy to use. Plenty of documentation on Google.
