    I want to clone my OS (Windows 8.1) from my SSD to another because I will be returning this one (bought in another country) I am currently using. However, I wouldn't be able to get hold of my next SSD at the same time (will have to wait until I come back to the US), so "cloning" is not impossible. So what software should I use? I heard Ghost doesn't work on SSDs? Clean installation is known to be the best method but not very favorable in my situation.

    Sorry I meant to say that cloning is impossible, and by that I mean using softwares with a "Migrate OS to SSD" function.

    If you used MiniTool Partition Wizard, did you try the Copy Partition or Copy Disk Wizard(s)?
