Hi Lambert:

Then there is the totally free partition manager called gparted and it also allows you, in addition, to resize dynamic volumes as required: http://gparted.org. It also runs on all platforms and can modify most (all) file systems.

If you wish to clone an Windows drive, I would suggest DriveXML: https://www.runtime.org/driveimage-xml.htm and for anything else including Windows there is Clonezilla: http://clonezilla.org

Hi all

I'm thinking of replacing the very slow (5400rpm) 1tb hard drive in my laptop with a much faster SSD, sacrificing some storage space (that I don't really use anyway). I can do the mechanical part no problem, but how do I move the Windows 8.1 installation from one drive to another without breaking anything?

Last time I did this was about 7 years ago, and I used Norton Ghost to make a backup to another hard drive, which I then swapped out. What software should I use now?


Jon
