    Does anyone have good luck cloning a Windows 11 Pro GPT UEFI system? I have the latest Clonezilla Ver 3.01.8 and it hangs up during cloning a Windows 11 Pro system. It worked once and the new system booted ok. The 2nd time cloning the new drive was not recognised as a Windows 11 GPT bootable system. It seems that the new drives being created are either hanging up during build or there corrupt

    If you have any suggestions on where I can get a workable Windows 11 Pro Clone Software that I can use to backup a 100GB system to a larger drive, let me know.

    I've had good luck with the (old) free bootable version of Macrium Reflect. Used it maybe hundreds of times professionally with no data loss and all systems were bootable (UEFI or BIOS)

    Use old free version of Macrium, either 7.x or 8. Always works.

    I have the macrium software up, and when I try to clone the drive it hangs me up in a copy mode instead of cloning. Can you show me the steps on how to clone a 99GB GPT UEFI drive to the backup clone drive? Thanks

    Clonezilla isn't the problem
    Check your hard drive ..
    I use it .. monthly

    Cloning drive ? Or partition?
    I always do backup for whole drive
