You can use Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V directly in most applications.

There are various tools available for cloning, like EaseUS Todo Backup. However, it frequently fails. Windows resists copying files to another drive. Therefore, fresh installations remain the best option.

Use a tool named disk cloner. Avoid performing a fresh install before attempting to clone. A fresh install should only be done when all other options have failed.

They mentioned it, so you should use Macrium Reflect.

No, full cloning is not free. It typically requires specialized equipment, expertise, and resources.

It adjusts its size during cloning, but only worked on Pro versions previously.

It worked even when I first used it. I transferred my mother-in-law's files from a damaged 500GB hard drive to a 240GB SSD. I’ve never paid any cost for this app.

Take immediate steps. Install Macrium Reflect or another solution, then explore the remaining options by reviewing what's available.
