To do this, you will need third-party cloning software, as Windows does not offer a built-in cloning tool that can let you perform a cloning task. Some brand-new drives will even include software to assist you in doing this, such as Samsung SSD.

EaseUS Disk Copy is a versatile cloning utility for Windows computers. It can help transfer Windows from HDD to SSD without data loss and Windows reinstallation.

In addition, you can use it to clone a hard disk with some bad sectors, create a WinPE bootable disk, and migrate data from one PC to another. You can also use it to copy data from one hard drive to another and resize disk partitions during cloning.

Here is how to clone a hard drive to another:

Step 1. To start cloning an entire hard drive to another, select this drive as the source disk under "Disk Mode" and click "Next".

Step 2. Select another drive as the destination drive.

Step 3. Check the disk layout of the two hard drives. You should manage the disk layout of the destination drive by choosing "Autofit the disk", "Copy as the source", or "Edit disk layout".

Step 4. Click "Proceed" to execute the task.

Cloning can help you copy Windows from one hard disk to another without reinstalling Windows. But you must utilize professional cloning software like EaseUS Disk Copy.
