Question
Phouchg
Please share how do you accomplish such a task: cloning (migrating) a mechanical hard drive of a new laptop with preinstalled Windows 8 (therefore with GPT and Secure Boot) to a smaller SSD.
Currently I have a mind for Paragon Hard Disk Manager which is guaranteed to do the job (using WinPE boot disk). However, while it includes many useful tools (and even more perhaps not so useful), thus replacing clonezilla, gparted, walking on a live wire with dd, some software of, well, dubious legality and various backasswards methods, the price for proper business edition is rather high for a small business in a proverbial fourth world country, very hard (in fact, impossible) to justify in my paperwork. Given the sad state and mindset of people I'll probably be told to, ahem, obtain it some other way, but profiting from piracy is something I'm not comfortable with.
Are there any similar tools or methods that would help me do this? Perhaps even free, but equally easy to use (including fixing BCDs without hassle)?
