I tried to clone my Windows 10 installation from a WD hard drive to an OCZ SSD using EZ Gig IV, but it didn't work and I got an error saying a file is missing and the drive is locked. Is there a way to fix this or should I consider alternative software for the OS transfer?
EZ Gig IV is a cloning software that allows users to create an exact clone of their hard drive, including the ability to clone a hard drive to an SSD. However, some users have reported issues when trying to clone a hard drive using the software, including failure to clone, getting stuck during the process, and issues with drive recognition or bootability, particularly in Windows 10.
For ordinary users, fixing errors with EZ Gig IV cloning software can be a daunting task. If you've encountered issues, it's recommended to abandon EZ Gig IV and try a more reliable alternative, such as Qiling backup software. Qiling allows for easy cloning of a hard drive to another in Windows 10/8/7 and other previous versions, making it ideal for backup, hard drive upgrade, or system and data transfer purposes.
Step 1. Launch Qiling cloning software and choose "Disk/Partition clone" to start.
Select the source hard disk you want to clone and click "Next".
2. Select the destination disk.
3. After cloning, you can preview the disk layout to ensure everything is correct. Once you're satisfied, simply click "Proceed" to complete the cloning process with just one click.
