These tools let you clone/image your drive. These are useful when migrating from a Hard Drive HDD to Solid State Drive SSD.
If you have a failing drive with bad blocks, try one of these programs: AOMEI Backupper Standard https://www.aomeitech.com/ab/standard.html Clonezilla https://clonezilla.org/ ddrescue - command line, but able to skip bad sectors, (available on many Linux distro's) https://www.gnu.org/software/ddrescue/ The programs before are not as good for drives with bad blocks, but should work great on most drives. Macrium Reflect Free https://www.macrium.com/reflectfree EaseUS Todo Backup - Has a free version available https://www.easeus.com/backup-software/tb-free.html Paragon Hard Disk Manager https://www.paragon-software.com/ Samsung Magician for Samsung SSD's has a built in cloning utility Image for Windows (and Linux, DOS, and other utilities). Recommended by Steve Gibson from GRC.com https://www.terabyteunlimited.com/products/ Wikipedia has a huge list of programs here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_disk_cloning_software You can clone a Windows drive to a backup file, then apply it to a new drive using this method.
