Few things are as tedious as reinstalling Windows, but the good news is that we can move the entire environment to a new drive (whether faster or larger) without too many hiccups. All we need is a compatible tool, and that's where Hasleo Disk Clone comes in. This software is free, relatively compact, easy to use, and has good documentation on its official page.
With the purchase of a new NVMe in the coming days, I'll inevitably face the same crossroads as always: install Windows from scratch on the new drive, or clone my current environment. I have no reason to jump to Windows 11 (not while Redmond remains trapped in its cosmic delirium), so I'll probably choose the cloning route, just like I did last time.
Fortunately, there are many free tools online that can help us clone disks and SSDs without headaches and without paying for licenses or subscriptions. One of the most interesting is Hasleo Disk Clone, which reached version 3.0 after six months without updates.
Clone all your disks and SSDs with Hasleo Disk Clone
The available work modes in Hasleo Disk Clone are three: System Clone, which automatically selects all the necessary partitions to transfer an operating system, Disk Clone, where you can choose whole disks, and Partition Clone, which limits its scope to specific partitions.
Once you've chosen the drive or partition, you move to the second phase where you define the target drive and advanced parameters such as MBR cloning or preserving the overall layout of the partitions. The third step is a review that lets you adjust the size of the partitions, which is very useful if the target drive is larger. Hasleo Disk Clone also offers alignment parameters, with 1 megabyte as the general recommendation, or 4K for SSDs.
The last option available in Hasleo is the creation of an emergency “disk” based on WinPE. First, it will generate an ISO image with all the necessary files, and then it will present two options: dump the content to a USB drive, or export the result as an ISO image.
