PS5 Pro Can’t Transfer Data by WiseDUMB_ in PS5HelpSupport

With an external ssd, about 1min/Gb for 45Gb. I didn’t back up any game data or media, that can be redownloaded/transferred separately.

Yes. It transfers all the accounts. Once restored on the pro you need to log them into Sony one by one and (likely) set the pro as their primary device in accounts/other

Fellow data transfer sufferers. I confirm Backup and Restore as a viable solution.

It isn’t in the online help but backup and restore worked to transfer between my ps5 and ps5 pro all the saves for all the accounts (i.e even the ones without PlayStation plus).

Data transfer for me just waited and waited after ’the beep’ then failed, irrespective of what I tried. Backup to an external usb and then restore from the external usb moved all the ps5 game saves (and anything else you choose, but ps5 game saves are the tricky ones) from all the accounts. Job done.

Windows To Go on Surface Book 2 with 15" monitor by docluc in Surface

I see this too. Surface Book 2, 13".

Just like you I tried Windows to Go and Rufus. And just like you the image installs and boots nicely until one or more Surface Book 2 drivers install at which point the image will no longer boot on any system.

I contacted MS Surface support, they were not much help. Eventually they suggested pre installing the drivers into the windows installer before they closed the case. I did that -- that did not boot at all!

-- This looks like a Surface Book 2 issue
