How to Clone HDD to SSD in Windows 7 Laptop for Free?
Geeks -
To clone a hard drive to an SSD in a Windows 7 laptop, you can use a free program called EaseUS Todo Backup. This program allows you to clone your hard drive and create an exact copy on your SSD. Here's how to do it:
Connect your SSD to your laptop using a SATA-to-USB cable or an external drive enclosure.
Download and install EaseUS Todo Backup on your laptop.
Open the program and click on "Clone" in the left panel.
In the "Clone" window, select your hard drive as the source disk and your SSD as the destination disk.
Click "Advanced options" and select "Sector by sector clone" to ensure that all sectors on the source disk are copied to the destination disk.
Click "Proceed" to start the cloning process. This may take some time, depending on the size of your hard drive and the speed of your SSD.
Once the cloning process is complete, shut down your laptop and remove the hard drive.
Install the SSD in your laptop, making sure to connect it to the same SATA port as your old hard drive.
Start your laptop and enter the BIOS settings. In the BIOS, set the SSD as the primary boot drive.
Save the BIOS settings and restart your laptop. Your computer should now boot from the SSD, which contains an exact copy of your old hard drive.
Note: It is important to backup your data before attempting to clone your hard drive. Cloning a hard drive will erase all data on the destination disk, so it is essential to have a backup to avoid losing any important files.
