In their own words
Iperius Disk Cloning
Iperius Disk Cloning is a free Windows utility that makes an exact disk-to-disk copy. It runs inside Iperius Recovery Environment, which can start from a USB stick or optical media such as a CD or DVD. The maker describes it for moving an operating system to a larger disk or cloning a hard disk to an SSD. Disks connected directly to the machine and USB disks are supported. The destination must have capacity equal to or greater than the source, and the selected source cannot also be the destination. For hardware needing specific drivers, the utility can load an .inf driver while running, including for RAID controllers and SCSI devices. The recovery environment is WinPE-based and can be prepared on a USB drive or ISO file. The maker describes procedures for Windows 10 and 11 and says they apply from Windows 7 through Windows Server 2025. It can restore Iperius .VHD or .VHDX images, including on different hardware. Creating recovery media permanently erases the selected USB drive.
