Help replacing Hard Drive & keep data!

DankDoodles

I have a hard drive that needs replacing, and I just bought a new hard drive. 

 

Can someone recommend me a youtube video and or program to help me copy all of my data, including the windows installation, to the new drive?

 

I am thinking of buying this temporarily and then returning it after I am done https://www.amazon.com/Sabrent-External-Duplicator-Function-EC-HD2B/dp/B0759567JT

Macrium Reflect can clone drives just fine, and it's free for personal use : https://www.macrium.com/reflectfree

 

You can install it and run it from the drive that needs to be replaced. 

 

You may have to enter a valid email address to get a registration key to use it, but I did and they didn't spam me with mails or anything.

Thats kind of a scummy move. Just use one of the many free clone software. (I like macrium, easy to use)
