Can make a mirror (clone) my computer operating system and software on this device?

I never tried. I suspect you would need something like Ghost so you can boot up and restore.

I don't see why it wouldn't depending on whether or not your system would fit. Ghost? Why bother? If you are using Windows you can make an image without having to purchase anything else. If you're using Windows 8, search for backup and restore.

I copied the disk contents on a USB stick from a work system. You may want to do the same.

Yes you can, it will depend on which program you use. I use a paid program, Paragon Migrate which will do it with both drives installed and in use, other programs such as the free version of Macrium Reflect will and I believe paragon backup and restore will. Some programs such as Acronis, will begin with the drive in use then tell you to reboot and do the actual clone during the reboot. With the Thermaltake Black X you can clone to the Black X or with the drive installed, and is easier when connected by eSATA but will do USB also.

Yes it can. In fact it came without any operating systems so I had to download everything myself.

Yes you can, it uses MST, which is not dependent on os, just video card/drivers.

Get an USB DVD drive or copy your DVDs in another computer to an ISO file and load them with a virtual drive like Virtual Clone Drive.

Ours is a refurbished computer and didn't come with a restore disc, but you can make your own.

Yes it does clone the OS, I clone my Windows 8 from Toshiba HDD to OCZ SSD 60GB, I am running the same now.

Hi! I hope so because the computer I have now let me down and I will need it for the new one... But I am sure you can, if not, you could make a copy from your computer to "download" it to your new one. I do not know how but I know you can do it.

Yep, there's a switch on the back that says 'PC' and 'Clone'; you select which you want before turning it on. Easy.

Actually . You can clone your system with acronis which is provided with this device. I did this. there was no problem. Everything was same. But I recommend that you had better to install new and clean windows. It makes this device more efficent. In fact after I cloned my system, I decided to install totally new windows. if you dont want to new windows go for it.

Yes, but it is very glitchy and will prompt you for a reinstall of the software every time that you restart your machine. Again, great hardware, HORRIBLE software.

I wouldn't do that. I'd use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone your drive first. If you can.

Yes. But it's a little tougher than you think. You need software to properly clone your boot drive. If you have multiple HDDs in your system, you need to unplug them for your initial boot so Windows will see the Solo as having your primary drive and will map it as such. It works very well. I used in my last computer and I was very happy with the performance. Just make sure you have a large enough SSD.

If you had software that supported drive cloning yes, but the device by itself does not do "push button" clones.

I havent seen a revo that comes without an operating system. But you can always put whatever you want on it just like a regular pc. or you can look at barebone htpc's

Yes you can. The software does less that some of the others, but it is beautifully simple to get operating and it served all my needs [to the present time].
