How to Clone an SSD?

Please guide me in this regard. Are there any software's that I can use for free or should I have to pay for them? Can I get the exact the same Windows settings as in the old SSD? Can I transfer the Windows license as well while cloning the SSD I mean the settings right.

Thanks & Regards,

Most SSD manufacturers have a free migration tool. just check their support page.

Whats stopping you from installing a fresh copy?

I was able to clone but the cloned copy was terminating explorer after few seconds. Did a reinstall then. [MENTION=2132]RCuber[/MENTION] Wasted time installing updates and softwares.
