[SOLVED] Do any free cloning software programs work?

[ScottB3333]

Macrium Reflect...error message )
Easeus free...every time I got to the page to make the cloning happen, "Pay Now" made it impossible
Clonezilla...not sure it works with Windows
Windows 10
300 GB on HDD cloning to TB ssd
Teamgroup CX2
Just want to know if it's possible without paying

I use Macrium for this all the time.
Given a fully functioning source drive and the OS, and a fully functioning target...it generally works.

What specific drives are involved?
What motherboard?
What specific error message in Macrium?

It's a 1 tb hard drive....don't know which brand
Windows 10
Ga-78LMT-S2P
Error message just said 0
Something about one of the partitions faulty or something

If you can, a screencap of this Macrium error.
Also, a screencap of the Disk Management window.

But, a faulty source results in a failed clone operation.

I'm not sure I know what you mean by a faulty source.
Hard drive corrupted?

Yes, a corrupted drive is a possibility.

Thanks.
Cloning it would be pointless.
When I get a chance I'll learn about screenshots and get back to this

Screencap: a picture of exactly what you're seeing.
A capture of your screen.

Win10 has a Snipping tool. I use it daily.
Capture a window or area.
Save than as a jpg or png.
Upload to imgur.com.
Post the link here.

For instance, this is a partial screen of my Macrium Reflect window.

For most of the new drives I've bought, it usually comes with a license for Acronis True Image OEM and they do work, for the most part.... There are situations where it's necessary to select manual cloning to tweak the destination partitions, especially if the destination drive is larger than the source.
