It is worth noting that Windows does not have a native cloning program that can help you perform a cloning job. Therefore, you should use a dedicated cloning tool to help create a copy of everything on the old hard disk if you plan to keep the OS. For example, you can transfer your C drive to a new SSD.

Compared with HDDs, SSDs have many advantages over them. For example, SSDs have faster write and read speeds, higher performance, and lower power consumption. Therefore, many computer users want to replace their hard drive with an SSS.

EaseUS Disk Copy is a professional cloning utility compatible with Windows 7/8/10/11. It can help you clone your system, disk, partition, etc., and migrate your OS from HDD to SSD or SSD to SSD. In addition, it allows you to clone an old hard drive to a larger drive and clone a hard drive with a bad sector.

The detailed steps to clone your old hard drive to a new SSD are as follows:

Step 1. To start cloning an entire disk to another, select this drive as the source disk under "Disk Mode" and click "Next".

Step 2. Select another disk as the destination disk.

Step 3. Check the disk layout of the two drives. You should manage the disk layout of the destination drive by choosing "Autofit the disk", "Copy as the source", or "Edit disk layout".

Step 4. Click "Proceed" to execute the task.

Using a professional cloning utility is the best way to clone your old HDD to a new SSD.
