If I sell a customer on an SSD, I would rather clone in order to keep all the software and such. 

That is not how your OP read..  You should of stated your looking for cloning software to support anything because your cloning other people's device.

 

Not

Just bought a larger capacity SSD to replace my smaller one.

Which would be a 1 off, and only need to support the makers drive as the destination, etc.

If you are cloning other peoples stuff then you probably want something that doesn’t license per computer like most things in the thread has mentioned.  I believe the software/hardware that I mentioned is not licensed per computer. 
 

there is also cloning devices where it isn’t licensed per computer or any one particular computer.

something like that would require you to get a m2 adapter to sata to be able to clone, but it wouldn’t require you to license each computer you would clone like Acronis would.

Budman, I am looking for cloning software to support cloning other people's devices, and supports UEFI. Do you know of a software solution that I can purchase that will do this?

 

Thanks to all that has replied. My first project will be cloning my existing drive to my new, larger SSD that is UEFI enabled.

No it’s not. But since I already recommended something and it’s been discussed, is reading a lot to ask?

Please do not assume that I am not reading your posts my friend, but I like the sarcasm. Well played lol I appreciate your help.

 

I had a look at Macrium, and followed up with a youtube video on the cloning function. I am going to give it a go.

Macrium Free - Cloning Disk

The first drive I purchased, was the lower end Crucial 1TB SSD.. and since my board has extra SATA ports, I plugged into that, and used Macrium.

 

The second I did, was an upgrade to a WD 500GB SSD for a laptop. It doesn't have two drive bays, so I just used a USB 3.0 circuit board I got from shucking my 10TB external drive I put in my main computer. Hooked that board up to the SSD, plugged it into the laptop as an external drive, and cloned it with no issues. Took about 40 mins... when done, swapped out the old drive with the SSD, rebooted and off she ran like it was brand new. Only much faster.

The old drive booted from a restart in about 4 to 5 mins.. now, she's under 40 seconds.

      draw.io Desktop 30.2.4 by Razvan Serea draw.io desktop is a downloadable security-first diagramming application that runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux. Creating diagrams in the desktop app doesn’t need an internet connection. This is useful when you are disconnected or when you must create diagrams in a highly secure environment, where data protection is of the utmost importance. When you use the draw.io desktop app, your diagrams will be stored on your local device. Because this is a stand-alone application, also designed to run offline, there are no interfaces to cloud storage platforms available. Of course, you can still store your diagrams in folders that are synchronised to your cloud storage if you wish. Easy-to-use diagram editor The draw.io apps work just like the office and drawing tools you are used to using. Drag and drop shapes from the shape libraries and drag to draw connectors between them. Drag connectors to add waypoints and set a precise shape and position, or let them reroute automatically. Double click and start typing to add a label to anything. Create tables and swimlane flows with a familiar tool. Style shapes and connectors with customisable palettes, sketch options, fonts and text formatting tools. Search for shapes, including in open-source icon libraries. Use our vast libraries of shapes and templates, organised into logical categories, to create a range of diagrams and infographics. Generate diagrams from text descriptions using our smart templates. Diagram faster with keyboard shortcuts. draw.io Desktop 30.2.4 changelog: Uses electron 42.4.1 Updates to draw.io core 30.2.4.

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files by Usama Jawad Microsoft Purview is a pretty useful data governance, security, and management service that allows customers to gain enhanced visibility and control over their content. It's meant for commercial customers, such as organizations that are storing data at scale. As AI continues to expand and infiltrate every corner of a firm, many are a bit conscious about the technology gaining access to their confidential data. Microsoft is now making a configuration change that will allow such customers to rest easy. Right now, users within an organization have the option to apply Purview sensitivity labels (when available) to secure certain files and label them as such. For example, if you apply the "Confidential" label on an Excel file, the file will be encrypted, and a "confidential" watermark will be applied to it. So, if this file is shared with anyone, they are aware that its access is supposed to be restricted. Up until now, Microsoft was allowing some connected experiences, like its AI services, to analyze files, regardless of their sensitivity label. This is of major concern to most organizations, as a recent example highlighted how confidential emails with data loss prevention (DLP) policies like privacy labels were being uploaded to Copilot for analysis. As such, Microsoft is updating an existing Purview data label sensitivity setting that prevents "some connected experiences that analyze content", from being blocked completely from doing this. The label isn't changing, but the blocking is now being enforced across all connected services (including Copilot and other AI tools), and now extends to Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Files with the label applied already will get this enhancement automatically too once it becomes available. Microsoft has urged IT admins to inform their respective helpdesk and compliance teams, update internal documentation, and review sensitivity labels to ensure that they meet their respective compliance needs. This change is tagged as MC1297982 in the Message Center. General availability is scheduled to begin in a phased manner soon and will complete by the end of next month. That said, it is important to note that this only applies to commercial customers who have a license that allows them to use Purview.
