古いWindowsノートPCを移行した

CPUが古いとWindows 10から11にアップデートできない、ということでノートPCを買い替えたとき行った作業のメモを反省とともに残しておく。

データの移行が面倒であったので、古いPCのSSDをそのまま新PCのSSDにクローンし、その後Windows 11に更新すればよいだろう、という発想で作業した。

結論からいうと、この手順で目論見通り移行できたものの、予想外に手間取った点や些細であるが取り返しのつかない失敗があった。

手順

反省を踏まえた手順を記載する。（なので、この手順で作業した実績はない。）

前提

今回特殊だったのが、旧PCがBIOSで新PCがUEFIだった点で、この場合、後述するようにMBR2GPTを行う必要がある。そうでなければ、ただ単���旧PCから新PCにクローンするだけで動いたはずだ。

新PCの内蔵ディスクのクローンを作成する（必須ではない）

これはバックアップ。うまくいかなかったときには最低限これにもどせばよい。

USB SSDからbootしたUbuntuでddrescueを使ってクローン。

予想外だった点

最初Clonezillaを使ってみたが、これだと異様に遅く結局クローンに失敗してしまったようだ。結局、新PCのクローンはあきらめてしまった。

新PCを起動しWindowsアカウントを登録する

WindowsアカウントでログインするとWindowsやOfficeアプリのライセンスがアカウントに登録され、再インストールが可能になる。

Microsoftアカウントで登録されていることを確認すること。

新PCからドライバや独自ライブラリ？をUSBメモリなどにバックアップ

取り返しのつかない失敗だった点

WindowsはWindows Updateからドライバを入れてくれるので、この作業は不要だと思ったのだけれど、今回買ったノートPCはメーカーのプリインストールアプリが独自のライブラリ？に依存するらしく、それらはWebからもダウンロードできなかったので、バックアップが必要だったみたいだ。プリインストールアプリはどれもなくてかまわないようなもので、問題なかったけど。

新PCで回復ディスクを作成するか、他のPCでもいいのでインストールディスクを作成する

後述するが、新PCでコンソールを立ち上げる必要があり、ここで作成した回復ディスクやインストールディスクを使う。

予想外だった点

回復ディスクは以外と容量が必要なようで、32GB必要とのこと。16GBのUSBメモリを持って��たものの、作成できなかった。回復ディスクではなくクリーンインストールするインストールメディアなら作成できた。ここで回復ディスクを作成していたら、前述の独自のライブラリ？はここからコピーできたかもしれない。

旧PCの内蔵ディスクのクローンを作成する

旧PCのクローンを新PCの内蔵ディスクにクローン

新PCで内蔵ディスクをGPTに変換する

新PCで回復ディスクからコンソールを立ち上げ、内蔵ディスクをMBR2GPTで変換する。

予想外だった点

基本的にWindowsがインストールされたディスクを他のPCにさしても起動できる。たとえIntel CPUのPCからAmd CPUのPCにさしてもちゃんと起動する。起動後、バックグラウンドでドライバのインストールなどされるようだ。

ただし、BIOSからUEFIに代わると起動できない。UEFIはGPTのみに対応していて、MBRは読めないからだ。Microsoftはちゃんとこのような場合のツールを提供していて、それがMBR2GPTだ。

最初これを知らなかったので、起動せず焦った。

新PCを普通に起動する

OfficeはMicrosoftアカウントからダウンロード＆再インストール可能。

おまけ

旧PCにはChrome OS Flexをインストールした。

UbuntuのようなLinuxをインストールすることもできるけど、日本語入力が不安定だったりUIに統一感がなかったりして、特別Linuxを使いたい気持ちが必要だと思う。

Chrome OS Flexなら日本語入力も使えるし、UIも統一感があってきれいだし、デフォルトでディスク暗号化もされてるし、安心感がある。

Старый ноутбук на Chrome OS, что можно на нем делать

Не для кого не секрет что старые ноутбуки страдают от нехватки ресурсов. Хотя если говорить честным языком установить Chrome OS Flex можно с 4 гигабайтами оперативной памяти. Как это сделать в интернете валом видеоинструкций. Из собственного опыта скажу просто, телефон на андроид в виде компьютера. Ну в интернет зайти можно и не более.

Absolutely! I've used:

2 comments and I will make the irreversible switch back to chromeos.

I see that there is a lot more to chromeos than what I thought when I switched to linux. like chromebrew? And, steam is on chromes natively now? the irreversible part is that to switch back to chromeos I would have to also switch back to googles chromeos only firmware from mrchromebox's. and I want to at any given moment install a random other os. chromeos flex was... not a good time. no audio, and no shell acces. wich means no chromebrew. That is a problem since I have been using linux for a while, and grown quite fond of terminal utilities. so, let me know if I should switch back to chromeos, try chromeos flex again, or if there is another way I can play with chromeos with out replacing the firmware.
