Thanks, Titan. I'm trying to understand why you suggest using imaging rather than cloning.
I might not recall it precisely, but I believed images were ideal for backups while cloning was better suited for hardware migration.
Since my last comment, I've read some articles that explain this difference. They mention that an SSD cloned from a bootable Windows system's HDD can be installed and the computer will start as if the original drive was still there, since it's an exact copy. In contrast, an image file or ISO is a compressed format that needs a bootable device to load, which the CD or USB you referenced wouldn't provide.
What am I missing? It seems cloning is simpler because it doesn’t involve compression and doesn’t require a separate bootable media.
