    I will be getting my new SSD soon and would just like to ask if this could completely clone my current boot drive into the new SSD. I would like to avoid the hassle of installing everything from scratch.

    Don't bother with that it doesn't support GPT disks in the Free version.

    My SSD creates a GPT disk rather than a basic disk when I create any partition using the Windows 7 Setup installation

    use this

    EaseUS Todo Backup Free

    because it supports GPT disks which Macrium Reflect FREE doesn't!

    Thanks for the suggestion Y570. I've compared the capabilities and it appears to have everything else Macrium Reflect Free has. My concern now is if it's rather easy to use. Would you mind sharing some insights on this matter?
