I don't use image or clone tools, I use system backup tools. It won't
have the problem of cloning the wrong way to destroy your boot drive. I
use AOMEI Partition Assistant Standard (free) to migrate the OS to a new
drive.
For boot system backup I use both AOMEI Backupper Standard and Macrium
Reflect. Both can also restore the system to another drive.

My standard procedure is to always have a second disk drive of the same size
(or bigger) and clone the main drive to that drive. (being extremely careful to
not clone the empty drive over the windoes drive).
Then I swap the drive out and do the upgrade on the cloned drive. If all goes
well, great. If not you have a fallback to the old drive.
There are clone tools out there, like clonezilla, but my preferred method is
using another computer with Linux on it and the dd command. Just be extremely
careful you get the drives correct or you are toast.
