Completely free disk cloning software that actually works

You know the drill, you've just replaced an old HDD with an SSD drive (or M.2 etc), and for some reason you want to clone the existing drive and keep everything the same. Even though you know a fresh install of Windows is a much better idea. 

Anyway, if you're lucky the new SSD drive will come with some cloning software. However, a lot of the time it won't. So you download some free cloning software (like AOMEI Backupper) only to find that to clone the drive fully you have to pay... 

Fear not, there is completely free software out there (for personal use), from Macrium Reflect

Check it out here: https://www.macrium.com/reflectfree (scroll to home/free)

It totally works, and is totally free, you just need to give them your email address, and then they send you a download link. 

Acid Relief - Free CD*

* Feel free to donate money for charity.

But you don't have to if you don't want to, but I'd highly recommend it if you enjoy the music. It's a full on Acid House, Techno, Electric phat beat / bass (bit like puffboy) album with 16 tracks, 1 hour 30 minutes, and SO worth the download, even if you have to spend all weekend downloading it over 3G on your mobile phone. (Like I did!)

Also blogger have a new dashboard, and posting style, very minimalist, with stats and things, much more like a copy of wordpress but slightly more basic looking. (if you're interested). Oh and it looks like me posting this has applied a different template to the blog. (so there).
