Cloning
Since many members had problems with cloning I made a Macrium clone of my W7 system to study the situation. Unfortunately there was nothing to study because it went perfectly and booted immediately.
I did, however, observe that the cloning took a LOT longer than an image from the same system - and that from a SSD to a SSD on eSata.
Another curiosity - when I was in the cloned system I emptied the recycle bin (which came from the original system). When I was back in the original system, the recycle bin was empty there too.
