Superior Drummer 3 Help

  Hi there

  I have run out of storage space on my computer running Windows 10, thanks to a very large and sneaky update from Microsoft. (Yes I know. I shouldn’t be online and I’m not online that often.)

  So I have decided to install a new C: Drive going from 128GB to 500GB.

  My D: Drive is 1TB.

  I run Pro Tools 12, Superior Drummer 3 and not much else.

  I have been told that before I install the new drive and back up all of my music files and programs etc, I should ‘Clone’ the C: Drive first.

  Is this something that is recommended and is there anything else I need to be aware of please. I obviously don’t want to lose my files or programs, but don’t want to lose my licences either. I am also thinking about ‘blocking’ all future updates. Is that wise to do?

  Thanks

  Dave
