Making Windows 7 Ghost Image or Something Like It

Hey there I was wondering if theirs a way to make a windows 7 pro 64bit backup of my PC for my new SSD where It has all drivers updates and windows add-ons like net framework etc

 

I know back in the day Norton ghost images would be used for pre built PC's but is there a way to do something similar to my windows. I know you can make a backup partition for windows with drivers and all you need to do is load the partition and run the backup or ghost.

 

I have Paragon Hard Disk Manager™ 15 Suite licence key from my friend who works in networking. 

 

So what do I need to do to keep my fresh install with drivers but ghost image to my new SSD once I put everything on it?

 

Windows 7 pro x60

Office

Drivers

Updates 

 

And image it to new HDD or SSD Samsung 950 Mini Sata

You mean a clone or a disk backup?

i5 6600k and GTX 1070 but I play 1600-900. 1440p BABY!

Still, don't put too much faith in my buying decisions. xD

Well reinstall my PC install drivers and update then make a backup of the reinstall for my new SSD I got for my main OS and saves me time from needing to installing drivers when I reinstall next time. Kinda like ghost imaging back in XP days, I think it was Norton Ghost Imaging.

HBCD, burn it to usb and look for shadow cloning.

I might test that with an old SSD see how it ends out.
