Free cloning program for windows 7

Sorry but I obviously didn’t make it very clear, I’m not sure what you mean by usb2 or usb3, my intention is to disconnect all my data drives and connect the new drive as “D” while I carry out the cloning, remove the existing 120Gb and swap the new 480Gb into the c position and reconnect all the data drives, hopefully sorted, what do you think 🤔 ?

Btw, I do know what usb is and the difference between 2 & 3, but all the drives are in the pc with the small sata cables, no usb ??

I also used the free version of Macrium recently to clone twp 1 TB hard drives to two SSD drives for my desktop and my wife’s laptop. Easy to use and worked flawlessly.

I recently started using AOMEI Backupper. The Standard version is free. Works nicely, and a simple interface.
One thing I learned is:
If your computer is set in the BIOS to use UEFI boot, versus Legacy (MBR) boot, the software you use to clone or make a drive image must be UEFI-compatible. I discovered my good-old Symantec Ghost was not.

Ok, many thanks, I’ll have to check that in the bios when the new drive arrives
