[Question]Image MBP including bootcamp partition for use with a VM

[Anarchy99]

Hello,

Just give some background few months go I upgraded to a newer MBP, by restoring my old ones backup to it via Time Machine.
Personally I feel things are missing primarily passwords but anyway as far as I'm concerned it should all be their and consider itself the same machine correct?

Recently I ran into some icloud shenanigans when my iphone crapped the bed, and I was stuck in a loop where the iPhone wanted me to authenticate with another device
unfortunately so did the new MBP
luckily I hadn't yet wiped the old MacBook Pro so I could authenticate them both.

However had I wiped the old MacBook Pro it would've presumably would have lost the iCloud keychains and what have you.

I don't want this or something similar to be an issue down the road.

I would like to image the MacBook Pro preferably including the boot camp partition for archival purposes but also ideally for it to be in a format that I could throw into a VM either on mac or PC so if there was another time where I needed to boot up "my old MBP" I will still have it even after I wipe the actual mac and donate it to a family member.


thoughts, sugestions etc?

thanks

Carbon Copy Cloner will allow you to clone a disk.

Carbon Copy Cloner will only clone the macOS partition. In order to clone or copy the Boot Camp partition you will need to use WinClone. In other words, you'll need two apps - both are not free although CCC has a fully functional trial version. Don't know if WinClone has a functional trial version.
