Most cloning software on the market needs to perform the cloning in a shutdown state or reboot Windows after the cloning is completed, which makes the entire cloning process inefficient and cumbersome.
To clone SSD on PC while OS is running, you need a cloning program that uses the hot clone method. EaseUS Disk Copy is such a program you can use.
It is a lightning-fast disk clinging software with Hot Clone technology, allowing you to clone your hard drives while your OS runs without restarting or losing any data. Besides you also can use this software to create a local backup of your hard drives, clone HDD to SSD, or even clone a hard drive with bad sectors, if needed. Now, let's check how it works to clone SSD on a PC while OS is running:
- Choose the disk as the source disk under "Disk Mode" and click "Next";
- Select the other disk as the destination disk. Then you will see a message; click OK to confirm it;
- Check the disk layout of the two disks. Once done, click Proceed to execute the task officially.
