    Hi,

    I have 1TB HDD with windows. It has 2 drives. and I want to backup the C drive and restore it in to another 500gb ssd. Will this be possible? The 1TB drive is divided into partitions with around ~460GB in size.

    Also, can I backup the C drive, install new windows in a laptop, resize the C drive backup then restore it?
    So this way all the boot, recovery, partitions are as it is. Obviously bitlocker will be disabled.

    Clonezilla can save a partition as an image, and you can restore it to another partition.
    It can also clone a partition to another partition.
    However, your restored/cloned OS has to be responsible for the booting and other related mechanism.
    "Also, can I backup the C drive, install new windows in a laptop, resize the C drive backup then restore it?" -> What did you mean by this?
