Hi ...
I have a Dell inspiron 5520 laptop (about 5 years old). I dual boot Windows 7 and Ubuntu 16.04, and everything is working great. But I’m getting worried about my HDD, it’s working great but it’s getting old.
I would like to replace the 240GB HDD with a slightly larger 275GB SSD. I’ve found a SSD online that appears to be a “plug&play” replacement; Crucial MX300 275GB SATA 2.5" 7mm (with 9.5mm adapter) Internal SSD.
Using a SATA-to-USB 2.0/3.0 Cable I think I’ll have the HW to clone my existing HDD.
My intent (hope) is to simply clone the HDD (sector-by-sector) to the SSD, remove the HDD, install the SSD, boot up and all is good. Both the Win7 and Ubuntu installs are “vanilla”, that is, "out of the box" nothing special.
Any suggestions for FREE relatively SIMPLE cloning SW?
I didn't find the right solution from the internet.
