The $5 Windows Disk Cloner.
No dynamic subscriptions. No bait-and-switch pricing. No locked restore features at 99%. Just an honest utility that copies your active Windows boot disk for a single fiver.
MiniClone works while Windows runs, copying your data with safety checks enabled. MiniClone transfers your data safely, all while your Windows session stays active. Safe, secure disk migration while you continue using Windows.
Tired of the "Free" Bait & Switch?
We built MiniClone because we were exactly where you are right now. We needed to copy our drive, and we got tired of being lied to.
The Bait & Switch
They advertise as "Free Download" on search engines, let you install, select your drive, and wait hours for the copy to compile.
- ❌ Locked recovery at 99% until you pay
- ❌ $50 to $60 dynamic monthly/yearly bills
- ❌ Desperate discount bait if you try to uninstall
- ❌ Bloated installers with tracking telemetry
Aggressive Honesty
MiniClone is planned as a $5 one-time utility. Sales are paused during pre-release review, while the full fictional Demo remains free.
- ✅ Planned one-time $5 license; no subscription
- ✅ Dead-simple auto-detection of your boot drive
- ✅ No usage telemetry; cloning runs locally on Windows
- ✅ Transparency: run logs & plans are plain JSON
Try the Actual MiniClone Interface
This is the same interface used by the Windows application, running here with fictional disks and simulated safety evidence.
Simple 3-Step Cloning
Plug in Target
Connect an eligible SSD/HDD equal to or larger than the source volume. MiniClone warns you before erasing any existing destination data.
Select & Point
Launch MiniClone. The engine automatically finds your boot disk. Point it to your new target and confirm target identity.
Done when it's Done
It clones your files from a VSS shadow copy, builds the MBR/GPT boot configuration, and detaches safely.
Frequently Asked Questions
Short answers before you buy.
Can I use MiniClone while Windows is still running?
Yes. MiniClone is built for active Windows sessions. We copy from your source with safety checks and try to keep the destination offline until validation finishes.
What safety checks does MiniClone run?
MiniClone checks source and destination size and identity, validates boot preparation readiness, verifies copied data after transfer, and keeps evidence for offline review.
What drives can I use as the target?
The target must be an eligible internal disk at least as large as the source boot volume. Existing destination data may be present, but it will be permanently erased only after explicit confirmation.
Will every migrated disk boot every time?
We reduce risk with checks and preparation, but no software can guarantee success for every damaged drive, firmware mismatch, or unusual Windows configuration.
Can I try MiniClone before purchase?
Yes. The interactive demo is free and works on fictional disks so you can see the workflow and controls before buying.
What if it does not work for me?
We do not promise rescue of every edge-case drive, but we do offer a refund to the same payment email if the session does not complete as expected.
The Disk Restore Guarantee: Zero.
Disk migration always depends on the source drive, destination hardware, Windows configuration, and firmware. MiniClone protects the source during transfer, verifies copied data, prepares destination boot files, cleans up temporary state, and requires the destination to be offline before reporting success. No software can guarantee that every damaged drive or unusual Windows configuration will boot successfully. We do not offer warranties of fitness or merchantability, and we do not guarantee it will save your drive. If purchasing opens, the voluntary refund policy below applies to supported configurations.
