So my desktop is fairly old and it is really no longer usable as of Monday night it boots up and give be the BSOD. I have tried all of the things on the windows support site and I think it is a lost cause. I ordered a new one that arrives Thursday. The help I need is what is the best software to get to clone my old HDD? If I clone it is it going to give me the same error? I think it is my SSD that is crapping out on me.
I can log on the PC and within 3 mins it will BSOD. It will happen as fast as BSOD at windows login to allowing me a few mins to be doing things. It is quite random. I am not 100% certain the cause, however, on Monday when I went to bed and shut down the system it gave me the update and shutdown option. When I got back from work Tues and booted up it was BSOD. I rebooted and it booted and then BSOD. I immediately thought it was due to that update so I tried to return to a previous savepoint and it only allowed me to return to one with a Tuesday timestamp. All that said I'm OK with upgrading since that system is about 10 years old anyhow, but as you can expect I would like all my information off of it.
