I had cloned my original hard disk installation to SSD using Macrium Reflect. But it caused confusion because they had the same UUID.

My plan is to regularly image the Windows partition to the spare hard disk as a backup in case of SSD failure.

    Maybe use the image drive option in Reflect instead? It’s easy to restore the image later by booting from USB.

    Otherwise I believe there’s a tool to change the uuid, but I’d be a bit nervous of having two near identical drives online in case the OS gets confused and puts some things in the wrong spot.
