The 'target' (new drive) has to be at least as large as the 'source' (original) drive as this is a sector by sector mirror image copy. After copying simply pop the new drive in and reboot and you should be good to go. If the new drive is larger, you can go into disk management (windows) and tack the additional space onto the existing C: drive or create a new drive partition and assign it a drive letter.

After cloning (duplicating) an existing hard drive onto a new one with the hard drive duplicator, the new drive when installed in the original PC will boot up the operating system, identically to the original hard drive. After duplicating, the new hard drive is an exact duplicate of the original, and will work the same in every way. The software, and all data is all the same and will work the same in the PC as the original hard drive does.

Yes. Just make sure the old drive is SATA. Remember to format it to windows file system NTSF if using windows.

I think so, as you won't be using is as the boot drive. You should.be able to access any good files.

Are you talking about cloning the contents of this drive to your computer? If so, yes. It is indeed possible, manually or with the help of freeware. I recommend the latter though. I did the opposite though as I have a 3TB drive. Good luck.

I see no reason why not. just pop the new drive in the old ones place, they hook up the same way. However be warned, all of your data will be lost in this process. You should have a windows sticker somewhere on your computer case that has your product key, all you need to do is find a copy of the windows version that you have, install it and put in that product key. To find the drivers that you need just go to dells website and download them from there. If you ever get stuck during the process, google is your best friend.

Yes you can. If you are going to replace the drives try to go with the same name drives or at least 7200 RPM.

Yes you will just have to format the drive and install a new copy of 7. Make sure before you do that you have all the Samsung drivers

Your new drive may come with software and cables that will allow you to plug in both drives and transfer your data from the old to the new drive, or you may have to download the software and buy the cable elsewhere.

It did not work for me. My advice is do not take a chance on it. I downloaded the FREE EaseUS ToDo Backup application and cloned my entire hard drive to a smaller solid state drive as easy as copying files in windows. Then I just plugged the new drive and it started the computer just like the old one. I can't imagine it can be easier than this.

Yes, as long as the drive has enough space for every thing on the old hard drive.

Yes you can, you would need to have the hard drive connected through your computer.
