Cloning a system disk?

[stockhausen]

Can anyone suggest some (free) software that would allow me to create an exact copy of a bootable 250GB SSD (containing Windows 7) onto a 500 GB SSD?

I would anticipate that there is a Linux tool to do this? Acronis appears not to work in this way, it seems to assume a bootable target disk.

Anyone tried either Paragon, EaseUS or AEOMI?

I have used various versions of Acronis True Image Backup on either CDs or on a memory stick. Personally I have never had a problem using them although I have never used the "incremental" backup feature which is reported as being unreliable.

Acronis 2017 works with M.2 NVME SSDs, I don't know whether earlier versions will?

Does your cryptic suggestion satisfy all (or in fact any) of the requirements of the OP?
