Upgrading SSD, looking for a disk cloning tool.

Just wondering if anyone have good experiences with clone software, and be able to recommend me a tool to do the job, bootable usb or similar, as the disk in focus is a Operatings system drive for win8.1.
did a quick google but there were so many options so i decided to ask for advice on the matter.

 

Easeus Partition Master Free - did my cloning pretty fast from HD to SSD.

 

is it windows based? not sure if it will work since the os locks certain areas of the drive

 

Windows, yes (cloned my Win7 64bit). I had no problems. Running on it just now. It optimizes the SSD settings, too.

 

Easus TODO works well, I've used it a few times.

Easeus Partition Manager has more features: http://www.partition-tool.com/personal.htm

 

One of my colleagues at work uses a tool from Paragon alot and I used it once too. It doesn't clone the entire disk but it does a good job at cloning the Windows partition.

 

ok i have tested all of them above,

i landed on EaseUS Todo Backup seems like byfar the easyest and advanced at the same time

 

I use this.
