want to migrate to a 1TB SSD disk.
after format of new disk , how about command ::

NOT a file copy. I need a bit by bit clone, an image clone.
Why?
Could be, that Win10 needs it, and Win needs a bcdedit-massaging afterwards, but I did clone a WinXP from an very old HDD to a newer HDD using Knoppix and tar, just as I would have copied a Linux (with a little grub/fstab massaging).
Because Linux can not handle NTFS permissions properly and write them in the destination, for instance. Nor can it handle modern undocumented ntfs file compression. Nor can it duplicate boot code, or handle unmovable files. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.3 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
