    Ok i've managed to move the whole drive into the new drive, everything is fine, files are 100% the same, but...
    I cannot boot from Z, Nor does Z have a windows logo in Macrium reflect,
    In the video the guy didn't have a windows logo on it either but he did have on on his recovery partition
    Do i have to make it boot manually or what?
    Macrium reflect show a windows logo in case it's a primary partition and active... so a possible boot partition. Sure Z is primary and active? You cloned C which is primary and active.... so must be fine.

    But you cloned to an extended partition (marked with green border in disk management). Maybe it's logical now as well? That's why I told you to make it primary and active in destination partition properties

    If you enter BIOS you can change the boot priority. You see options like CD/DVD, USB, Harddisk.
    Is there an option to specify which harddisk to boot from?

    X and Z have green border so are logical partitions! Make them primary.
    Download and install Free download Magic Partition Manager Software, partition magic alternative, free partition magic, partition magic Windows 7 and server partition software - Partition Wizard Online take the free HOME version. Run it
    Then make X and Z primary. X is not really necessary.
    Video help on how to set partition as Primary or Logical.
    Then make Z active in disk management or do How to Set Active/Inactive partition with partition magic? Partition Wizard Video Help.

    Of course you can do it with other partition software as well

    Did you delete all files on X yourself? It's totally empty now.

    Are you converting X and Z to primary and mark Z active?
