This piece of software has been very reliable and has saved us a lot of headaches when hardware failures occurred on the PC. For those interested, I purchased another license for Casper Backup software from Future Systems Solutions - which we use in our small home office for backup of a PC that runs our accounting software. I won’t be using Winclone as my backup solution for the SSD though, as all I really need is a Windows-based backup solution, given that Win7 resides on it’s own SSD and is not on a partition.

I can post a link to how to do this if anyone is interested (just reply to this thread). I installed the Apple-drivers that work with Win7 directly for sound, keyboard etc.

Lastly, I should note that I never used the bootcamp Wizard to install the Apple-based drivers within Win7, as Mojave does not support Win7, only Win 10. I would then simply restore the 'file-based” image to the new SSD. I would NOT run sysprep, which I found problematic (fortunately, my original image was made of the HD before I ran sysprep and I was eventually able to restore my HD completely). If I had to do it all over again, I would make a backup of the 1TB HD with Winclone using “file-based’ imaging. I also unchecked the defrag option within Win7. I then opened the Devices and Drivers window in Win7 and saw that there was an error message on the SSD, updated the driver, rebooted and everything worked fine. I restarted the Mac Pro, Bootrunner prompted me to select an OS I clicked on the SSD with Win7 on it and to my delighted surprise, I booted successfully into Win7Ultimate.

I managed to figure out a solution to the stall at “Updating Legacy”, I simply closed Winclone and then installed the SSD (which was using an external eSATA dock) back into the Mac Pro tower. I don’t know Tim if you are seeing these posted updates as I suspect between managing this support forum and working on your other products consumes a lot of your time, but I am posting my updates to mainly to help other users, as Winclone eventually got the job done. So, what would you suggest I do next after creating a backup?įor example, should I resize the Windows bootcamp HD from 1 into 2 partitions (one of which would have Win7 Ultimate) via Camptune then clone the Win7 Partition with Winclone then restore the clone onto the SSD?Īny suggestions much appreciated and thank you in advance. I have read on this forum that Win7 may have problems recognizing a new SSD but there is a thread “Prepare Windows with Sysprep in a Virtual Machine” that seems helpful. I have Winclone (most recent version) and Paragon Camptune X (to resize a partition).įirst thing to do, I think, would be to do a backup the HD via Winclone before attempting anything. The Mac Pro (4,1->5,1) is running Mojave.Įven though the 1TB HD is currently « too large » for the 500Gb SSD, there is only 200Gb of content on the HD, so there would be sufficient space on the SSD. I would like to clone the 1TB HD over to the SSD and use the SSD to boot into windows (as an FYI, I use Bootrunner currently and it works just fine with the current setup). There is roughly 200Gb of content, including Win7 Ultimate.

I have a 1TB bootcamp HD installed in my Mac Pro tower.
