from the picture ,i can see the new hard drive is totally full, i think maybe the way of your backup is wrong, so it is advisable to you see incremental backup, full backup and differential backup. as i know full backup mainly has two disadvantages. On one hand, it would cost more time. On the other hand, the image file of full backup requires more storage space. There isn't any way to remove the reduplicative data but to delete the image file of the last full backup. so you can choice differential or incremental backup.

you can do backup by yourself, you can just backup the file and application that you want to save or just back system image. in my view, if you just want to create a system image, you can only backup the system image on windows 7. you can choice windows built-in utility to backup your system image.What's more, you can also employ a powerful and free backup software, such as AOMEI Backupper. this software have one-click backup system image function.if you are green hand for computer, this simple and safe software is very suitable for you. i hope this will help for you.
