* The Advanced mode allows you to clone Windows to a contiguous space on the destination disk. This space can be a combination of multiple existing partitions and free space while keeping other unselected partitions that exist on the destination disk.

* The Clone as MBR/GPT option allows you to clone a Windows OS from an MBR disk to a GPT disk or from a GPT disk to an MBR disk.

* The Sector by sector clone entire disk option copies every sector from the source disk to the destination disk. Therefore, the destination disk must have a capacity equal to or greater than that of the source disk.

* The Delta clone option can ensure that only the changed data blocks from the source disk are cloned to the destination disk. This requires that an earlier full clone of the source disk already exists on the destination disk. For detailed instructions, please refer to the tutorial: How to Delta Clone a Disk?

* Disk alignment:

1. 1M (Recommended): 1M alignment is a subset of 4K alignment. Partitions aligned to 1MB are always 4K-aligned, which helps you get the best SSD performance. In Windows Vista and later operating systems, partitions created using Windows Disk Management are always aligned to 1MB bytes, regardless of whether the disk is an SSD.
2. 4K: This option ensures the starting sector of every partition is aligned on a 4K bytes, which is very important for the best performance of an SSD.
3. Cylinder: Ensure the starting 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 the destination partitions is not aligned.

* The Sector by sector clone partiton option copies every sector from the source partition to the destination partition, including unused sectors.

Step 4. The system will pop up a warning message, prompting you that all data on the selected drive will be deleted. Please back up your important data in advance. If you have already backed up your data or do not wish to, click "Yes" to continue.
