i know there are several disc cloning software to be downloaded for free. but it seems everything i do has at least one weird aspect to it. so initially my plan was to buy one usb 3.0 external 4TB hard drive, and just walk it around to all the computers in the house, and clone each hard drive to it. but as always, one calamity or another bled off money and i had to compromise. {living on a fixed income sucks!} so i ended up with a refurbished (3.5") 4tb hard drive that i installed into the spare computer (which is Windows 7 Professional). so now i will have to shuttle information to that computer somehow. the only possible good news (if it works out that way) is it is a wifi only computer. so i am hoping I can just create a home (L.A.N.) network and send each computers information that way. the first question i have is about the different operating systems. everything else in the house is running Windows 10 home edition. so i do not know if this is going to be an issue or not. my second question, is, do i download the cloning software to the Windows 7 computer, or to each Windows 10 computer that i want to copy? my third question is, can i do this over our wifi by setting up a L.A.N., or am i going to have to buy a 256gb usb flash drive to cart data back and fourth to the spare computer, and or would that be worlds easier to do it that way vs. setting up a L.A.N.? i am praying that they teach all this stuff to my young up and coming
