I wish to point out the problem in cloning......  you clone all the old
Windows baggage as well.... It is best to put on a new OS, from
Scratch....then your OS is brand spanking new and fast.....

The Downside:   it takes forever to also load on all the programs you
use..... and update them all....

Since the disk is used to boot the system, you can't just copy the files
over in the same way as I described above.  The disk needs to be 'cloned'.
