MiniTool Drive Copy
What it is
MiniTool Drive Copy is a free Windows utility for copying complete disks or individual partitions. It can help move an operating system to a larger hard disk or SSD without reinstalling. Disk-to-disk copying offers options to fit partitions to the destination, preserve their sizes, or use minimum size. Partition-to-partition copying can preserve, resize, or move a partition. Listed supported systems include Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, and XP. Supported storage includes HDDs, SSDs, USB flash drives, SD cards, CF cards, and other media. Listed file systems are FAT12, FAT16, FAT32, VFAT, NTFS, and NTFS 5. The utility is designated for private, non-commercial home use; organizational and commercial use are prohibited. During disk copying, data on the target partition will be lost, so the product page advises backing up important target-disk data first. Telephone and email support are available.
