Migrating Partitions from one PC to another - what backup and restore software to use?
Hi Experts,
The screen on my old Microsoft Surface Pro 4 tablet has become unglued, so I am replacing it with a new Microsoft Surface Pro tablet.
I want to backup the C:drive to an image and restore the image to the new PC.
I've been using ShadowProtect v5, but the recovery media throws a fatal error when booting on the new PC.
So I'm looking for suggestions for another product to do the job.
I've had a brief look at AOMEI Backupper Pro Edition.
The product must let me create bootable media.
Regards,
Leigh

Thanks, pgm554.
The recovery media I tried was for Storagecraft Shadow Protect SPX.
Pity it would not boot.
