If you are using Windows 7 I doubt that you will see the reboot warning unless your Win 7 install boots via UEFI then you may see it but even then I think the chances are very minimal. The above instruction applies to Windows 10. If you must use the removable media I recommend that you disconnect all drives except those needed for the operation ie., Source, Target, and Recovery media. If you still get the reboot warning, abort the task and use the removable Recovery Media to perform the clone task or perform a restore operation (recommended). After the computer shuts down, cold start it, logon, open TI and run the clone tool again.

When you see the logon screen again click on the Power icon again and select Shutdown. At the logon screen, click on the Power icon and select Restart. If you run into the problem above, the workaround in most cases is to close the TI app and any other open apps, from the Windows Start menu select Sign out, this will take you to the Windows logon screen. If that occurs the task should be aborted as a reboot is not necessary in this scenario. The caveat here is that in some cases the computer will, after the user sets up the clone task, warn that a reboot is needed to complete the operation. It is possible to run the clone tool from within the Windows installed TI app. In such a case they select an incorrect disk, either source or destination and end up overwriting a disk they did not intend to.

The issue with clone is that in some cases users become confused as to which drive is which when running a clone operation from the Recovery Media created on removable media. The clone operation is a one off exception to that method. The preferred method to migrate data from an existing disk to a new one is via a restore of an existing backup. Again they are both Samsung drives and I have their NVMe driver installed also. So far my 1 Tb is empty and your suggestion implies I could just restore one of my backups to the new drive (of course checking the BIOS for booting). In response to #1 and #2 reply Are you saying I don't have to clone my original Samsung 960EVO 500 Gb to my newly acquired Samsung 970EVO 1Tb drive? Both are in my computer and I thought I would have to go through the cloning process.
