Overview of Windows Server

If you're a regular computer user, you've probably only used consumer-oriented versions of Windows (Windows Desktop), such as Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10, 11. If you're an advanced user, you've probably heard of or used Windows Server (such as Windows Server 2008, 2012, 2016, 2019, 2022), a class of operating systems designed primarily for servers. Although Windows Server OS and Windows Desktop OS share common code and look similar, they serve completely different purposes. Since servers are usually only used in enterprises, the Windows server operating system is mainly used in business environments to help companies deal with Internet/intranet hosting, databases, and similar functions more effectively. Here are the key differences between a Windows server and a Windows desktop:

✦ Windows Server Supports More Memory

✦ Windows Server Uses CPUs More Efficiently

✦ More Network Connections Allowed on a Windows Server

✦ The Server OS is Configured for Background Tasks

Tutorial on how to clone/migrate Windows Server with the Best Free Windows Server Cloning Software - Hasleo Backup Suite.

Step 1. Download, install and run Hasleo Backup Suite Free.

Step 2. Click "Clone" button in the navigation bar, then click "System Backup" button in the operation area.

 

Step 3. Hasleo Backup Suite will automatically select all partitions that need to be cloned for Windows Server migration, just click "Next".

 

Step 4. Choose the destination you want to clone to, then click "Next".

* The Keep partition layout option can ensure that the partition layout of the destination disk is exactly the same as the source disk after the cloning operation is completed.

Step 5. Adjust the size and location of the partitions according to your needs, then click "Proceed". A warning message may pop up to tell you that all data on the destination drive will be destroyed, click the "Yes" to continue if you do not have important data on the destination disk.

* Disk alignment:

1. 1M (Recommended): 1M alignment is a subset of 4K alignment, and partitions aligned by 1M are always 4K alignment, so it can help you get the best performance of an SSD. In Windows Vista and later OSs, partitions created using Windows Disk Management always aligned by 1M bytes, regardless of whether the disk is an SSD.
2. 4K: Ensure that the start sector of each destination partition is always aligned by 4K bytes, which is very important for the best performance of an SSD.
3. Cylinder: Ensure that the start sector of each destination partition always starts at the beginning of a cylinder. Windows XP and previous OSs use this alignment mode.
4. None: The start sector of each destination partition is not aligned.

* The Sector by sector clone partiton option enables you to clone all sectors from source partition to destination partition.

Step 6. Hasleo Backup Suite starts cloning Windows Server to the destination location. Please note that the time required for cloning is related to the size of the data that needs to be cloned, so please be patient.
