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.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
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?
