Refused to clone drive. Refused to copy from origin drive which had flaws. If the origin drive was flawless, I would not be trying to move data from it to the new drive. Used W10 to just copy files over then CCleaner to wipe the old drive.

It can't successfully convert natively from MBR to GPT so old machine to new machine is not a smooth process. It's also not the fastest imaging tool on the market.
