If you get a new a hard drive, or even a new Solid State Drive (SSD), you will need to get all your files, plus your operating system (like Windows 10) unto the new hard drive. In the old days, what you had to do was back up all your files, re-install your Windows, and then restore all your files.
Quite a hassle, right?
But today you get “Cloning”. Cloning hard drive is exactly as it sounds. You are making an exact copy of another hard drive, with no differences and is 100% operational, without the need to reinstall your Windows 10 or to backup your files (although we recommend to regularly backup your files).
The possibilities for cloning a hard drive is endless, like having a spare hard drive for incase your current one fails, you upgrade to a newer, larger hard drive, or any other reason for that matter.
But how does one clone a hard drive?
Sure Windows can do it, but it’s a very complicated process that can only be achieved in recovery mode. And most times some files go missing and you’re not guaranteed that it will be 100% operational. Your other option is to get backup software like those on offer from EaseUS. This allows you to click a few buttons and clone a hard drive just by following the on screen step by step wizard.
