If you are using a different setup, your installation process may be somewhat different. The following instructions assume that you’ll be using SuperDuper! and the 2.5" hard drive enclosure to clone onto a new 2.5" drive. To clone your hard drive, we recommend a program called SuperDuper!, by Shirt Pocket Software. Our 2.5" Hard Drive Enclosure or one of our Hard Drive Upgrade Kits works great for cloning your drive over. To clone a hard drive, you will need a way to connect the second hard drive to your Mac. If you are happy with your existing operating system installation and would simply like to upgrade your hard drive capacity, you can clone your existing hard drive to your new drive. Then, either use internet recovery or create a bootable external drive so you’ll be ready to install macOS onto your new drive and migrate your data afterward.
Type xcopy c: f: /s /e /h /i /c /y and press Enter to copy all the files and subdirectories (including any empty subdirectories, any system or hidden files) from drive C to drive F. Right click on cmd and select Run as administrator. Instead, to move your data to a new drive, first create a backup of your existing drive. Learn how to use xcopy to clone drive below. IMPORTANT: Cloning the hard drive is not recommended if you have a Mac that uses a recovery partition (MacOS 10.7 - present) or internet recovery (2011 - present). NOTE: With the introduction of macOS Catalina, certain steps in this guide are out of date. To clone your Mac hard drive to an SSD easily, another way is to use a professional hard drive clone tool for Mac. (SuperDuper is now compatible with Big Sur & Monterey.) (You'll probably only need to do this if you're migrating from a hard drive to a smaller SSD we have a separate guide on that process here.This guide will go through the process of cloning your existing software, OS, and data to a new hard drive. If it isn't, you'll need to free up space on your source drive and shrink the main partition down to fit.
In most cases, your destination drive will probably need to be as large as, or larger than, your source drive. Once you've connected your drive, you can go through the cloning process, then disconnect it and install the drive internally. If, however, you're using a laptop with only one drive bay, you'll need an external SATA-to-USB adapter, dock (Opens in a new window), or enclosure to connect your bare drive to the computer. If you have a desktop computer and both drives are installed internally (or you're just cloning to a USB external drive for backup), great! You're ready to continue.
