Open the Computer Management window by pressing “Windows-X” and clicking “Computer Management.” Select “Disk Management” from the sidebar if your new hard drive has never been formatted, an Initialize Disk window displays. For this option, refer to your PC's user manual for installation instructions. As a third alternative, install the drive inside your computer tower if an additional hard drive slot is available. Alternatively, directly connect the drive to a USB port with an SATA-to-USB adapter. Insert your new hard drive into an external drive enclosure and connect the enclosure to a USB port on your computer. Each of these programs is free and performs all the functions needed to transfer your operating system, device drivers, settings, applications and files to a new drive. Download a disk-cloning application, such as Macrium Reflect Free, Paragon Backup and Recovery or EaseUS Todo Backup Free (links in Resources).
