Comprehensive Cloning Tool Tailors to Various Scenarios

Designed for every use case you can imagine. Enjoy fast, safe, and simple cloning from start to finish.

Migrate OS

You may want to migrate Windows 10 or 11 from a traditional hard drive to an SSD for faster boot times, quicker program launches, and shorter game loading. System clone enables you to migrate only OS from HDD to SSD or another HDD without reinstalling Windows and programs, fully bootable and exactly like the original.

Replace Old Disk

If your computer overheats, freezes often, or makes clicking or grinding noises, these are signs of hard drive failure. It's best to back up your data and replace the drive before it crashes completely. Cloning the old disk to a new one lets you safely and easily transfer your Windows system and files.

Backup & Recovery

Cloning your important data as a complete backup and restoring it elsewhere is a reliable method for data protection of both individuals and businesses in case of data loss due to hardware failure, accidental deletion, or ransomware attacks.

Migrate to a Smaller Drive

SSDs are usually smaller than HDDs, so can you clone a larger hard drive to a smaller SSD? The answer is Yes, you still can accomplish larger to smaller disk cloning if the used space on the source hard disk is equal to or less than the storage capacity of target SSD.

Multiple Computers Setup

Want to set up multiple new and same computers instead of installing OS and apps one by one manually? IT admin can set up a fully configured system and use disk cloning software to create multiple 1:1 copies and plug them in new computers, saving hours and ensuring consistent setup.

Perform Testing Tasks

Works for program developers and IT professionals to clone partitions to create identical test environments for software testing or development purposes, allowing them to experiment without affecting the primary system and data.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the differences between backup and clone?
Backups and clones differ in purpose and function. Backups create copies of files to protect against loss, allowing selective restoration, while clones replicate an entire drive, including the operating system and applications, for direct use as a replacement. Backups are typically performed regularly and can save space through incremental changes, whereas cloning is less frequent and creates a 1:1 copy, taking up the same space as the original. In essence, backups focus on data safety and recovery, while cloning is used for full system transfer or migration. Depending on your needs, both methods can be valuable for comprehensive data protection.
How to clone an old hard drive to SSD without reinstalling windows?

When you have a compatible SSD ready, follow the steps:

1. Check OS, fix bad sectors, backup old HDD and connect the SSD with a USB-to-SATA adapter.

2. Choose "Disk Clone" in AOMEI Cloner, select the hard drive as the source disk, and the new SSD as the destination disk and proceed to perform the clone.

3. Boot your computer from the cloned SSD.

What is the best way to clone Windows 11?
Compared with using Windows built-in tool to create a system backup and then restore it on new hard drive, AOMEI Cloner, the professional disk clone software should be an excellent choice for cloning Windows 11, offering a straightforward solution for transferring your entire system to a new drive.

Do Windows 10 and Windows 11 have disk cloning program or tool?
For Windows 10 and 11, unfortunately all available versions do not include a built-in disk cloning program or tool in the OS itself. For disk or overall data cloning, you need to use a third-party software for easier and most importantly safe data clone operation. The most practical method is to choose a popular and reliable disk cloning software like AOMEI Cloner, which has been tested and verified by millions of users worldwide, and offers a user-friendly interface and a wide range of features beyond just cloning.
