Looking for a free tool to clone a hard drive on windows server

sputniq

I just purchased a synology nas, and I am currently running Windows server. I will like to free up a couple of hard drives but I need to move data around, hence to need to clone. 
mad it turns out, there’s almost nothing for free out there when it comes to windows server. I even tried a getting a free trial with no luck. Macrium reflect looked like a great option but for I’m only need to this once, so shelling out $160 will definitely be waste. 
 

if you know of a free tool I can use to clone the hard drive on windows server please let me know. 
 

thanks in advance.

 Clonezilla is a livecd too. It's not Linux specific

This.  I've used Clonezilla for years and cloned many Windows drives with it. In fact I don't think I've ever used it to Clone a Linux drive? Linux is so easy to install and setup I've never thought it worth cloning?
