Clone an entire hard drive in Windows is a fairly easy task. All you need is the right tool and an additional drive of the same size or larger. Of course, both units must be properly connected and installed on your computer. If so, then it’s as simple as downloading and installing AOMEI Partition Assistant.
Making an exact copy of the entire contents of your disk can help you with some specific tasks. For example, if you want to replace your old hard drive with an SSD hard drive, you won’t lose your documents or your operating system by cloning. You save time because you don’t have to reinstall Windows. In addition, if you regularly clone your various hard drives, you will get valuable backups. Anyway, if you have an extra disk with suitable capacity, open AOMEI Partition Assistant. In the main window, select the hard drive you want to clone and click Disk clone.
