What MiniTool Drive Copy is
MiniTool Drive Copy is a free Windows utility for copying complete disks or individual partitions. It is intended to help move an operating system to a larger hard drive or SSD without reinstalling. Disk-to-disk copying offers options to fit partitions across the destination disk, preserve their sizes, or copy them using minimum size. Partition-to-partition copying can preserve, resize, or move a partition. The listed operating systems are Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, and XP. Supported storage includes HDDs, SSDs, USB flash drives, SD cards, CF cards, and other media. Listed file systems are FAT12, FAT16, FAT32, VFAT, NTFS, and NTFS 5. During disk copying, data on the target partition will be lost, so the product page advises backing up important target-disk data first. The software is restricted to private, non-commercial home computers; organizational and commercial use are prohibited. MiniTool says telephone and email support are available.
