I'm using CloneZilla right now to copy an OS from a slow hard drive to a faster SSD (both SATA).
It's on a Dell E6530 - not the best machine, but still capable of a lot of common computing tasks. The owner plans on continuing to use Windows 10 on it as a secondary laptop and wants to extend its life.

For these kinds of tasks, I usually use a Linux Mint Debian Edition USB to live boot the machine.

As long as you re-created the partitions, mounted them correctly and know how to re-install grub, anyway.
Sorry, sorry. You mentioned windows. I'm just used to Linux. I guess for windows you're stuck with clonezilla?

CloneZilla has been very useful tool for me over the years.
