This tutorial mainly describes how to use free Windows 7 cloning software (Hasleo Backup Suite Free) to migrate Windows 7, the main contents are as follows:
Windows 7 was released on October 22, 2009, and it quickly became the most popular Windows desktop operating system and held that position for over 10 years until Microsoft stopped supporting Windows 7 on January 14, 2020. Even so, there are still some users who still insist on using it, this is because Windows 7 not only provides an easy-to-use interface, but also runs stably and has high performance. You can still continue to use your computer running Windows 7, but without continuous software and security updates, your computer is at greater risk of virus and malware attacks, so we recommend that you upgrade to Windows 10/11 for greater security.
Many people have been insisting on choosing Windows 7 as the operating system for personal computers due to its stability and ease of use, and even though Microsoft has tried every means to induce users to upgrade to the new Windows 10/11 operating system, most users remain unmoved. If we were asked to vote for one of Microsoft's most successful Windows desktop operating systems, Windows 7 would probably be the one with the highest score.
After the release of Windows 10, most newly produced motherboards no longer provide Windows 7 support, so we cannot install Windows 7 on newly produced PCs. For this reason, Windows 7 now usually runs on older computers. The hard disks of these old computers are usually traditional mechanical hard disks, in order to improve the performance of these old computers, we can replace the old mechanical hard disks with SSDs. In this case, we may need to migrate Windows 7 from the original HDD to SSD to avoid reinstalling the operating system and applications. Or you want to replace a small hard drive with a large hard drive, in which case you may also need to migrate Windows 7.
