And I was likely willing to pay for yours (given that I watched a youtube video on how to do it). And it is not an easy feature to implement, so if I could not find a suitable free option, I was willing to pay for it. I understand that cloning bootable windows disks is one of the major uses for software like this. It seems this changed very recently, perhaps as a response to youtube presenting this software as a free solution (JaysTwoCentz). However cloning of GPT to GPT disks is not possible with the free version which is VERY misleading. Your website suggests that disk cloning is possible with the free version.

Then I'll let you know how it ended and what the result is. I will start the free program Aomei Backupper Standard Free and see what happens. Saturday the new crucial ssdmx500 gb will be delivered,and then I will immediately connect the new ssd to the laptop. In the meantime, I have converted the target disc to the GPT style. And that I am reminded to buy the pro edition to avoid this obstacle. This could therefore be the reason that the 'Start clone' button does not want to start. The source disk has a GPT size and the target disk has an MBR partition style. It sounds to me like you are attempting a clone operation that is not supported in the standard version.

If you want to clone GPT disk to MBR or migrate MBR disk to GPT, you would need to upgrade to the professional edition. Aoemi Backupper Standard Edition only supports cloning the system disk with the same partition style, such as, cloning GPT disk to GPT disk.
