@exsl The error message tells you what is wrong.

The quick answer is shutdown windows properly for system cloning.

Either use:

1. sysprep to properly shutdown windows
2. use the command shutdown -s -t 0 to power off windows
3. disable windows fast startup, reboot, then shutdown using the windows start button.

For more info on what is wrong here google “Windows dirty bit”

Hey I did a sysprep.
I had to to reboot one time and shutdown one more time. And it works.

Thanks
