What you have there is a hybrid drive. It is one hard drive. Basically, the 24GB is nothing but "glorified cache". And while I couldn't find cloning software for your specific brand, I'm sending you a link that offers 5 free disk cloning tools. Just pick one and go with it.
I assure you that it is very easy to do. After you complete it, let me know how it went. I would also like to know which one you went with.

OK, I'll go with Macrium Reflect Free to clone. I've a spare 1TB Passport size hard drive, I can use it for it. As you mentioned Format the hard drive and make partitions immediately afterwards. Please tell me, Will I only format C Drive? And how I'll format it, I'm following which process? (is that the same as we do, when system boots up, & we hit F10/F11 etc?
Also, usually when we do this, we Boot from a CD/DVD rom using a Bootable OS installation disc. How we'll install the Win 8.1 again? (I'm familiar with the traditional process we always do, but this scenario (No DVD Rom, No OS Disc & Win 8.1) is a bit new for me. Can you please link to some relevant article that can guide me through the process?
Thanks.
