Cloned the 1tB HDD to a 240 gB SSD
Could not make a recovery drive (failed when attempting to create)
Ran the 3 DISM commands and recovery drive was able to be successfully created:
[CODE]Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth[/CODE]
I attempted to use the recovery drive to install onto a larger hard drive and it failed (320 gB W-D SATA drive)
I booted into UEFI and tried to get into Windows (to get disk recognized as GPT), but didn't get all the way there (ran out of time at work)
Rebooted and attempted to install - failed again.
Stopped testing for today, don't want to get the boss any madder (and I'm waiting for the other tech to come in to discuss other options).
