Product description

Copy & Migrate System and Data
• Whether upgrading to new or replacing failed hardware, you can comfortably move your Windows to a completely different hardware platform. P2P (Physical-to-Physical) technology guarantees the startup of your system on a dissimilar hardware configuration. Automatic partition alignment** aligns partitions to ensure drive performance. When copying a partition or a complete hard drive to a new device, you can easily exclude data you want to exclude from the copy process. ¹

  Please Note:

  Note: Automatic partition alignment is always active during create/move operations, active during redistribute free space/resize operations only when the left partition boundary is affected, active during copy/restore operations with resize only close

Migrate OS to SSD
• The integrated Migrate OS to SSD wizard performs fast and safe Windows migrations to SSDs and downsizes to smaller capacity drives. It allows you to separate user and system data from one another and distribute them among different target hard disks so you can make the most out of your space on a new SSD.

Virtualization
• Drive Copy helps you to easily transfer your physical system to a virtual environment such as VMware Workstation, Oracle Virtual Box or MS Hyper-V. You can create a virtual clone of your old system and enjoy working with old applications you can't launch on your new PC. Connect VD uses your virtual disk as if it's an ordinary physical disk.

Clone Hard Disk
• Drive Copy creates an exact clone of an existing partition or hard disk. Unlike ordinary copying of HDD data, your program copies user data and also transfers HDD content, including metadata, service structures, settings to a new hard drive. This approach enables the cloning of system hard drives.

Paragon Recovery Medium
• The new Recovery Media Builder 3.0 makes it extremely easy and flexible to create your own personal recovery environment. If your operating system does not boot up anymore, you can fire up your PC with the bootable Paragon recovery environment and load in an existing backup, secure important data or rectify booting errors.

Embedded Recovery Media Builder 3.0

  Prepares Linux or WinPE-based bootable environment on a USB thumb drive, in an ISO or PXE image
