    Mirroring a hard drive

    Hi all

    I want to copy a spinning hard drive to a SSD. I have done a few before but acronis doesn't work on this occasion. Anyone know of some free simple software I can download and try please.

    Macrium Reflect has a free edition that does quite a lot of these things.

    Macrium Reflect does a great job, other wise you could also try Paragon's Backup & Recovery Free.
