If you buy a Samsung SSD, they have a utility that will clone the drive. It
works like a charm and makes it very hard to do it the wrong direction.

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.
