Registered Macrium reflect - Free version
Received code in email
Installed software and applied code
Used HDD in USB cradle and connected to machine
Started Macrium reflect - Free version
Click clone this drive:
Select a disk to clone to
Select HDD in USB cradle
Follow next select prompts, select to overwrite volume data
After process is completed, (for me machine it was ~45 min 1 TB drive over USB3 port), reboot the computer and force it to boot from USB drive. Booting the computer will be much slower but you will know for certain in your cloning task was successful without actually swapping drives.
Now, I know I have functional clone on a HDD and to recover this machine all I need to do is swap drives.
