Cloning HDD (Mac+Bootcamp partitions)

[mwasking]

Had the source hdd, the destination hdd, and a third hdd by luck.

Second hdd backs up the source hdd on MacOS by Carbon Copy Cloner.

Step 2: Log on to Bootcamp on source hdd and back up Bootcamp to the third hdd. Used Paragon business trial version.

Step 3: Remove the source hdd from the mac and install the second hdd that now has the MacOS backed up to it and install Windows afresh, partitioning and all that is required by Bootcamp assistant.

Step 4: Log on to the new Bootcamp and restore the backed up bootcamp by Paragon again and enjoy the initial state of your computer.

Note: If you were upgrading to a bigger hdd, the new bootcamp restored to the initial volume size and had unallocated space. Head on to Disk Manager, where you extend C: drive for bootcamp to accommodate the extra space, or just make a new partition with the extra space if you like.

Enjoy!

I am amazed that you can follow that video?? I gave up watching half way through.
I have a 2011 27" iMac with High Sierra still on its original HDD, and a 120GB SSD with Win10 (OCLP UEFI). It's my first time installing Windows and the whole process was a blur to me. Anyway, I am planning to add a 1TB SSD and a 2TB HDD to the iMac (need to remove the 120GB SSD). The plan is to install the 1TB SSD first and keep the 120GB SSD temporally so that I can clone both macOS HS and Win10 to this 1TB SSD (to be partitioned half size for each).
My question is what will be the easiest and free method to get both cloned to this SSD?
P.S. I am familiar with miniTool partition wizard (Windows). Just wonder if I can use this for cloning Win10? I am not so worried about the macOS part because it can be easily installed with an installation USB, for which I already have. Also would like to know if the position for cloning Win10 is significant, meaning in first partition?
Also if get to the point the cloned Win10 won't boot up, is there a way to rebuild the EFI / Bootstrap like rebuilding the BCD table etc.?
