In this video, I show you how to clone a drive that contains your operating system, to another drive, using Clonezilla--a free and open-source bootable Linux-based drive cloning utility.
I demonstrate this with a Windows installation, since Windows is the most cumbersome to clone to another drive. Please note that if you are cloning a Windows installation from one computer to another, you will have to install drivers, and maybe reactivate Windows, on the target computer, once the cloning process is complete.

Disclaimer: Make absolutely sure that you select the correct source and target drives, and that the target drive has nothing on it that you need, because the target drive WILL BE ERASED during the cloning process!

Prerequisites:
1. A computer
2. Two drives (one source, one target)
3. An external drive for Clonezilla/GParted (at least 1 GB in size)

Download Links:
Clonezilla (alternative stable branch): https://clonezilla.org/downloads/download.php?branch=alternative
GParted: https://gparted.org/download.php

Commands:
Run CHKDSK (in Windows): chkdsk [drive letter]: /F (example: chkdsk C: /F)
