1. Disk & Partition Cloning
- Download: Obtain the official installer from the EaseUS website.
- Install & Create Media: Install the software on your PC. Use the feature "Create Portable Windows USB Drive" (often found in the Tools section).
- Boot from USB: Restart your computer and boot from this USB drive. This loads a minimal Windows environment (WinPE).
