I'm currently using a free cloning application to install my new SSD. It works great for imaging but it's about as intuitive as a bag of rocks when using the cloning function. Stop trying to make things unnecessarily complicated and fix your software. Especially when I paid for the 4 pack of this software. If I clicked on "Minimum size" it showed 43GB partition size and the rest unformated raw space. However it didn't do this, It showed less than a few MB used. I clicked maximum size and what it should have done is show an almost 500GB partition with 43 GB used. There were around 43 GB used on the 1 TB drive and I was going to a new 500 GB SSD. I tried clicking on "Maximum size" and it just didn't work correctly. Most cloning software will adjust the partitions automatically and "sense" that you are cloning from a larger drive to a smaller one. (You'll probably only need to do this if you're migrating from a hard drive to a smaller SSD we have a separate guide on that process here.I tried cloning from a larger disk to a smaller SSD today with Macrium. If it isn't, you'll need to free up space on your source drive and shrink the main partition down to fit. In most cases, your destination drive will probably need to be as large as, or larger than, your source drive. Once you've connected your drive, you can go through the cloning process, then disconnect it and install the drive internally. If, however, you're using a laptop with only one drive bay, you'll need an external SATA-to-USB adapter, dock (Opens in a new window), or enclosure to connect your bare drive to the computer. If you have a desktop computer and both drives are installed internally (or you're just cloning to a USB external drive for backup), great! You're ready to continue.
