Jazz_44 Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Hi all, With the upcoming release of DCS 2.5 I thought it would good to know a few things related to hardware. I currently run DCS on a 7200 RPM HDD. I plan to buy a SSD just for 2.5 when its release. - Do we know if 2.5 will be a brand new install, or an update for 2.2? - Can I just copy the current installations of DCS to the new SSD and it will work, or do I need to change the OS registry? - Is there a way to clone a HDD to a SSD, is there a freeware software for that? Thanks in advance, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demon_ Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 https://www.macrium.com/reflectfree Macrium does support cloning to a smaller disk. You can use the Windows tools to shrink the partition. If you can shrink it to an acceptable size, then Macrium will work. Attache ta tuque avec d'la broche.

joey45 Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 You can copy the DCS folder over to the new SSD then run a repair. You'll need to redo/edit any shortcuts you made. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.
