Cloning Software

[Billy_Mays]

I'm in need of a cloning software since I got a new HDD for my games and I need to transfer my OS and games both on separate drives and I want to move my games to the new HDD and move the OS to the game HDD (current one) while my PC is running and how long would it take to transfer almost 800gb of stuff on SATA 6gb speed

Don't use Acronus (or however you spell it) It feels it has the authority to interrupt Windows updates and brick your machine. 

 

Or at least it did that to mine.

Macrium Reflect works fine. 

But the best is always clean install

If you are trying to move OS files while the PC is running, that isn't possible. If you are just replicating them for future deletion, that should be fine. I personally like MiniTool Partition Wizard because you can do much more than just copy/replicate drives in it.

Ok I don't quite want to reinstall windows but if it's a must I will do it but is there a way to reuse the same windows key and keep the stuff on my desktop?
