[SOLVED] HD - Clone Backup Software?

[ST45kwxyz]

Hi,
Sorry if this has been frequently brought up before?
I'm looking for a program that is hassle free and works without multiple tweaks?

I've seen some videos on past software, free and paid for but would like to know,
what some of you have used and had great success with in cloning a small HD (spindle) and
putting the whole system with os on a larger hd for use and or back up. win 10 win 7.
Thanks.

post any links on the board to old threads that might be helpful.

I use Macrium Reflect.
For both cloning and backup imaging.

Somewhat modified since I wrote this, but my basic procedure:

What is your backup situation at home?

What is your backup situation at home? And if you don't do that, why not? Every single day, I read multiple threads here of "How do I get my stuff back?" or "That drive had 5 years of photos of my kids!!" Be it a dead drive, dropped phone, virus, accidental deletion, formatting the wrong...

forums.tomshardware.com

And I have had to use that to recover a totally dead drive.
