Windows cloning software can help you copy the entire contents of your Windows OS, disk, or partition from one disk to another while maintaining data integrity. Below are some common reasons why you need Windows cloning software:
✦ 1. Upgrade to a larger capacity drive: If your Windows OS is running poorly due to low disk space, this can be effectively solved by replacing the current system drive with a larger hard drive.
✦ 2. Migrate to SSD for better performance: Solid State Drives (SSDs) offer significantly faster speeds than traditional mechanical hard drives. Migrating your Windows OS to an SSD is one of the most effective ways to enhance overall system responsiveness.
✦ 3. Make a backup to restore Windows 11 in the event of a disaster: Windows cloning software can serve as an effective backup solution, as it ensures data consistency. For example, we can clone data from one disk to another, so that we can quickly recover data from a backup disk if one disk is corrupted.
✦ 4. Make a copy of Windows 11 working environment on other computers: If you have multiple computers and you want all of them to have the same Windows 11 working environment, you can make a copy of system from one computer to another.

To ensure the fairness of the test results, all software was tested in an identical environment using their latest versions. The testing involved cloning an 80 GB source partition (containing 68 GB of data) to the same destination disk on the same computer. The cloning process was performed under three modes: Keep Partition Size, Shrink Partition, and Expand Partition, with no other operations conducted during testing. The resulting speeds for each mode are compared below.
| Keep partition size | Shrink partition to 71 GB | Expand partition to 465 GB | |
|---|---|---|---|
