How to clone a disk? or how to return the disk to a state of new?

Question

Hard disks

Move Windows from HDD to SSD. (according to this manual alaev.info/blog/post/4204) She worked there for 2 years. Now she has broken down. Inserted the HDD again. I want to clone the system again from the old HDD (there is a working system) to the SSD. According to the old manual, it does not work, because. Apparently, the SSD disk is not new and it already has a partition table (? Maybe this is not the reason). The question is how to return the SSD to the state as after purchase? Or how to clone an HDD to an existing SSD?

Answer 1

clonezilla. disk-to-disk mode. She will offer to overwrite the ssd. Do not mix disks.
