This is done using Clonezilla and USB flash drive cloning Windows 10 drive method.
What is Clonezilla ?
Clonezilla is a free open-source disk partition image and cloning procedures. You can use Clonezilla system backup, complete drive cloning, system deployment. In addition, it supports a wide range of file systems, and a plurality of boot loader, encryption.
Note that to clone Windows 10 drives the second drive must have the same or greater storage capacity with the current. For example, if you want to use clone 60 GB storage drive, the drive also the recipient must have at least 60 GB of space for complete cloning .
Step 1 : Download Clonezilla
First, you need a copy of Clonezilla.
- Go Clonezilla download page . To select the file type is switched to the ISO .
- Click to download .
- Like other programs, like the installation install it.
Step 2 : Use Rufus to create bootable USB drive
To create a bootable Clonezilla USB flash drive, you will need a 1 GB USB flash drive (or larger). You also need to facilitate small bootable USB flash drive tool Rufus. (Here are some other tools that can be used to create a bootable USB flash drive .)
Please note that Clonezilla to create a bootable USB flash drive will completely erase all existing data on the drive.
This is what you need to do:

- When ready, press the START .
- Rufus detected "ISOHybrid" image. Continue to ISO write to the image mode .
Clonezilla is a small ISO. Therefore, the process of creating a bootable USB flash drive will not take a long time.
At this point, you should be a second hard drive connected to the system, and ensure that it can be used with your system. You do not want to enter the Clonezilla process and realize it does not work.
Step 3 : Reboot into boot mode selection
Now you need to reboot the system to guide the selection mode. The easiest way is to reboot the system, and then press the Start menu to select the type of hardware buttons.
Using the function keys to access the boot menu selection
Not sure which button to press? You can in this guide main menu list to find your hardware brand. Looking for BIOS settings? Check out our guide to learn how to enter the system BIOS and hardware-specific key combinations.
After the system reboots, click on a particular key. For example, on a Gigabyte motherboard, after I reboot click F12 to access the boot selection menu.
After entering the menu, you can scroll down and select Clonezilla bootable USB flash drive.
By Windows 10 advanced startup boot selection menu access
Some systems do not allow you to manually access the UEFI boot options, to ensure safety. Instead, you can access the boot menu, select the menu from the UEFI firmware.
Hold down the Shift key, then press the Start menu to re- start. The combination will open the "Advanced Boot menu." Here you can select Troubleshooting > Advanced Options > UEFI Firmware Settings option.
After UEFI firmware menu is open, you need to find startup options. For example, the following is my UEFI firmware boot menu:
From here, I can change the boot order so that my motherboard boot Clonezilla USB flash drive before the regular Windows 10 installation.
Step 4 : Set Clonezilla
Clonezilla启动后，您将有一些选择。选择Clonezilla Live（默认设置，VGA 800×600）。现在，等待Clonezilla实时环境加载。您将必须选择键盘语言和布局。到达“ 启动Clonezilla”屏幕时，选择“ 启动Clonezilla”。
现在，您具有Clonezilla选项屏幕。目前，您只需要了解六个选项中的两个即可：
- 设备映像：将设备（例如，硬盘驱动器）复制到磁盘映像。
- 设备设备：直接与设备（例如，硬盘驱动器）一起使用，以将副本直接复制到另一种存储形式。
第一个选项可帮助您创建当前正在使用的设备存储的磁盘映像。第二个选项可帮助您克隆当前正在使用的设备存储，并将其直接复制到另一种存储形式。
在克隆驱动器时，选择第二个选项device-device，然后选择Beginner Mode。其他选项使您可以定义高级选项。您目前不需要这些选项。
现在，您还有两个选择：
- 磁盘到本地磁盘：将当前磁盘克隆到另一个本地磁盘（例如，第二个硬盘驱动器）。
- 部分到本地部分：将磁盘分区克隆到另一个本地磁盘分区（该过程也使用第二个硬盘驱动器）。
同样，在克隆整个驱动器时，请选择第一个选项。第二个选项是克隆分区，它允许您复制设备存储的一部分。
步骤5：将驱动器克隆到本地驱动器
现在，您输入Clonezilla应该克隆的驱动器。
Clonezilla是基于Linux的实用程序，因此驱动器使用Linux命名约定。这意味着您的主分区（即您的主存储）将使用名称“ sda”，第二个驱动器是“ sdb”，依此类推。您还可以使用驱动器的大小交叉引用驱动器。
在第二个屏幕上，选择要复制到的存储。请记住，您要复制的本地磁盘的大小必须小于第二个驱动器的大小。
现在，选择克隆过程完成后Clonezilla想要执行的操作。您有三种选择：
- 选择：在此过程完成之后，保持Clonezilla运行。
- 重新启动：完成该过程后，重新启动Clonezilla。
- poweroff：该过程完成后，关闭Clonezilla。
最终选择是复制本地磁盘的引导加载程序。如果要复制Windows 10驱动器并希望其引导，请键入Y，然后按Enter。
想知道克隆后如何还原驱动器吗？请按照本教程中的步骤进行操作，但是将克隆的驱动器复制到目标驱动器，并确保再次复制引导加载程序。
使用Clonezilla克隆Windows 10：成功！
现在，您可以使用Clonezilla克隆Windows 10驱动器。您也可以使用相同的过程还原该驱动器克隆。使用Clonezilla的美妙之处在于，您可以克隆整个驱动器，而不会留下任何东西。只要您的驱动器上有足够的空间，Clonezilla就会始终执行此工作。
