    Cloning to a Smaller SSD


    What is a decent cloning product that can clone from a larger hdd to a smaller ssd, either paid or free. There's not a lot on the old drive.

    It's version 2004 of Windows 10. I'm unable to get to the boot menu or the bios using the novo button on a Lenovo Z580 for some reason. It brings up the options when I press it but nothing happens whatever option I select.

    How much space is used on the old HDD vs how big is the new SSD?

    The problem now seems to be that the power board underneath the power and novo button is damaged. I've ordered another one as it seems impossible to access the bios or boot options without the novo button working.
