| Jul 12, 2022 at 8:06 | comment | added | rzippo | I have this same issue, but didn't clone anything: I used the drive as an external drive using an enclosure, now this same drive is internally installed in the system. But Windows Store thinks it's a different thing, so I can't access them and can't even free up the space they occupy. | |

| Sep 29, 2020 at 16:59 | comment | added | memory noise | @harrymc Windows 10 by itself is fine, the cloned drive was a completely different partition than the system disk. It's just the UWP apps on it that are "missing". | |
