I have a laptop with win 8.1x64, secure boot, UEFI, and a GPT SSD.
In the past to clone a laptop drive, I would remove the drive, take it to my desktop with DD11 and 2 eSATA ports. I would attach the old laptop HDD and a new target drive to the desktop, use DD11 to clone it. (I have not yet upgraded my copy of DD11.)
