Put it in your system and it runs as the same way as your original system.
Q: I need to move several programs to another disk or I can’t clone the disk because I am cloning to a smaller disk?
A: DriveClone can clone disk to a smaller one. DriveClone copies or moves everything including data, Windows, and applications. But can’t just move applications to another system.
