    Can cloning be done via a cross over cable?


    Not wanting to be rude, I have spent days reading how it was done without using a cross over cable.

    My interest is: Can cloning be done via a cross over cable, ONLY?

    If it can, I'd greatly appreciate your feedback.

    If its a modern network card they automatically work it out old cards maybe not. what are you connecting with the cable as you may need to setup ip on both ends

    What is the FASTEST way to do it?

    Older HP Desktop to a newer HP Desktop.

    Windows-7 to Windows-7 PRO 64 on both.
    PLUS
    Windows-10 to Windows-10 PRO 64 on both.

    Image the old drive with Macrium Free. Restore the image to the new computer. If you need Macrium Free:

    Just a moment...

    The new drive needs to be as larger or larger than the old.
