    If there is enough room on the new drive to take all the data from your old one then give Acronis true image a try, i have heard good things about it and i will be using it to migrate my data to a new SSD when it arrives.

      On ebay buy a HDD clone tool offline. This will do a full clone inc system.

          i believe the hdd has to have to the same capacity, or more as the one your coping.

            id say acronis aswell, have used it before and its brilliant, but as mentioned ssd must be big enough to hold all the data off the old drive

                    clonezilla is old, but works great and is free.

                      Hi,

                      The best software you can find for this job is Macrium.
                      This software allow you to backup a bigger to smaller drive (if the usefull data doesn't oversize the target). --> your needs.
                      It allow you to dump a full HDD in a single file to save it to a server or NAS for example, for backup purpose.
                      It allow you to dig in the image file to recover a single file or folder, without restoring the full backup.
                      Once installed to windows, it allow you to generate a bootable USB key, who allow you to work on disk without their operating system on memory. Not corruption risk.
                      And much more.

                      From all the other software I have ever tried, it's the best one.
                      It's shareware for personal use, no need to crack it.

                      If you want to skip the register step, use this direct URL :


                      Cheers,

                      Phil
