I do not have any RT809F programmer but I'm sure it can copy a new Bios chip too! My RT809H sure can too but I just used my TL866A programmer here because it is small and easier to hook-up than my RT809H. About using an SSD I do not know about any unstable issues. But I know that if I copy my Windows 10 hdd to another identical type of drive (with the same capacity) with my stand alone hdd Copier Base, the copy will start complaining it is not registered. Although my brother did not experience that same issue on his hdd copy.

Albert,
Good fault finding,have any idea about RT809F Programmer???.....

It is not advisable to use any cloning software if you are using SSD in place of normal HDD. some time it make system unstable.
it only works if you have same Model/family hard drive for using on the same system.

In reply to Lynn Blakely.

Thanks Lynn but be warned that I recently couldn't even use Acronis True Image anymore to explore or restore its own made .Tib Full backup image! Just because it said that it was not the last full backup file made! And I read that a lot of people who even owned several Acronis versions also no longer were able to restore their previous made images. So I strongly advise you to no longer use Acronis True Image because that's how I lost access to my full made Windows 7 system image. I still kept the complete Tib file but no other program - not even Acronis itself - is able to read or restore that backup file now! Therefore better use other free good trusted programs because I lost trust in Acronis completely! And neither use the Windows 10 backup program because my brother made a backup with it on several discs but afterwards only made useless media!

To those that install ssd's on computers, it is handy to know that the Acronis cloning software instructions, are available to use to clone an hard drive. If you purchase the upgrade kit the transfer cable is in the box. we have installed PNY and Western Digital ssd's. If the old hard drive
is not able to be cloned, then use a usable hard drive. You may have to use the old key that is sometimes affixed to the side of the cover panel on a desktop. Best Wishes to all.

Indeed Paris. It doesn't need to be any virus anymore to cripple any Windows 10 computer because it is the OS itself that does it in seconds. After soft- and hardware are unable to fix the crash without the intervention of any good trained engineer with soldering skills. When even crisisdisks no longer work! Recently the Exploit safety check tool that the Windows 10 upgrade added to the Defender, did even accuse the CCleaner tool being dangerous! And it was automatically put in quarantaine and couldn't be undone other than by allowing it by the user. Which even surprised the people who made the CCleaner tool!

Good job Albert. You are right about having a copy file of the bios contents before the disaster comes...

Let's hope you never need to fix a crippled Bios Mark. Although we can easily prevent these sop8 Bios chips from getting overwritten by simply making it read only, it probably will cause many upgrade issues if it cannot change any modification to its internal Bios chip memory anymore.
This once happened with my brother's quad-core desktop mainboard computer that had a bad Bios chip what made his Lan driver fail to work. Only after we replaced the old sop8 Bios chip with a brandnew good chip his Lan connection finally worked. But before we knew this it looked as if one of his Lan system drivers were the cause. Which wasn't the case, because the fault was in the bad working Bios chip!

In reply to Humberto.

Hi Humberto I've just send you an email about the TL866 you asked me about. The original TL866C was many times cloned and hacked into the more expensive TL866A also ICSP supporting universal programmer model. Why it no longer was supported by the maker/designer of this device and now new supported model TL866-II is sold. And any TL866 is serialnumber registered to the Miniprog Windows computer program after any version upgrade! (v6.85 was last old model TL866A supporting version).
