Best way to clone a Windows install?


I am ready to dig out my Lenovo and start using it as my workhorse, what it was bought for. However, I would like to put a 1TB drive in it.

Nowadays in the world of SSDs, what is the best way (and most affordable way) to clone the drive Windows 10 is installed on so I can just swap the drive and start it up?

The computer has never actually been started, the best I can remember, so Windows is not fully set up. Not sure if that helps or not.

I do not want to have to buy a new version of Windows 10.

Macrium Reflect trial version worked for me. I think you can even tell it that your'e using an SSD so wit will set the sector sizes correctly etc.

Ty, will give it a try, sounds perfect. Currently sorting through SSDs on Amazon and trying to find a decent brand that doesn't have all kinds of issues.
