I have a 3 month old dell computer and the hard drive is going bad.
It still functions properly and operates correctly but diagnostics say it’s failing and dell sent me a new hard drive to replace it
Reading the manual for Acronis True Image WD edition, it looks like I should clone the C: drive and then copy it to the new drive once i have it installed…is that correct?
the C drive has 535 GB on it, I have an external drive with 576 GB available so I plan to clone the C drive to that external
is that all i need to do?
Dell hasn’t been much help…they sent the replacement without any instructions at all just a return shipping slip and i have 9 days to return the bad drive to them.
I can replace the drive but just want to make sure that I copy the C drive data properly to the external so that I can quickly get it added to the new C drive once it’s installed…i have a feeling it could take awhile to reinstall all of that data
thanks for any guidance
