Yes there is. However, there's a much better FREE alternative: ToDo Windows Backup Software by EaseUS software. Their website does say that it will run on any OS from Windows XP to Windows 10. I used it and it worked perfectly for cloning my boot drive to this SSD.

Included with the instruction sheet is a web site address and a password or key to enter after you download and install the the cloning software included with the SSD drive. It can be a little complicated to clone your HDD to the SSD drive, so take the time to read the help files and instructions that come with the downloaded cloning software. You are going to need a Sata to Usb cable to do the cloning process. Available on internet from seversl vendors and purchasing sites. If all else fails, you can call customer service number supplied with the drive.

I use Macrium Reflect. You can download a free version that will copy this. It is a bit complicated, but it does a lot, including resizing partitions and wiping old partitions.

Once you have this NAS up and running on your network, transferring files to it from a HD inside your PC is as simple as transferring files from one drive to another if both drives were still inside your PC. However, you cannot simply put your PC's hard drive into a NAS an expect to begin reading and using the files that were written onto that disk while inside your PC. The first step in using a hard drive in a NAS is to format it (along with a matching one) to pair them as a RAID. This process is just like any formatting. It erases everything from the drive.
