I’d have reinstalled Windows 7 myself, but the product key faded off the sticker over time. I looked into options and noticed many people use Acronis, though only the 2014 free trial was available (it likely restricts cloning until purchase). The free Acronis download was released in 2002. Since the older version feels outdated, I didn’t try it. For free cloning alternatives, consider tools like Clonezilla or Paragon CloneX – they work well with SSDs and are open-source. Your PNY Optima 240GB SSD should handle these without issues.
