Most cloning software on the market needs to perform the cloning in a shutdown state or reboot Windows after the cloning is completed, which makes the entire cloning process inefficient and cumbersome. 

To clone SSD on PC while OS is running, you need a cloning program that uses the hot clone method. EaseUS Disk Copy is such a program you can use.
