IT clones your entire HDD, although you can choose to exclude media files and the like.

 

Short answer is yes.

Yes it does. But beware: In my case it also copied the same drive letter of the SSD which was assigned by the HDD OS. Windows didn't boot until I used the install cd to change the new OS drive letter to "C" through the command window. Thought it would be done by Samsung software itself, I was wrong. Cloned my OS 3 times until I saw what was wrong...

My System:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 3700X - CPU Cooling: Corsair Hydro H100i Platinum - Motherboard: ASUS ROG Strix X570-F - RAM: Neo 16 GB 3600 Mhz - GPU: 2x Sapphire Vapor X R9 290 OC in crossfire - OS SSD: Samsung Nvme SSD 256 GB Second SSD Samsung 840 Pro 512 GB - Games: RAID 0 3 x Seagate 1 TB HDD - Case: NZXT H710i - PSU: Corsair AX860i

Could also just change the HDD partition letter after cloning I think, should work.

It can close everything on the drive but nothing that is open so thats where you run into an issue. I suggest you just use something like clonezilla or acronis.
