How to make a complete operating system backup of windows without anything missing, to switch it to a different hard drive? A complete personal usable backup without using untrusted software, exactly like original.

Could you please explain how your question relates to Ubuntu? Otherwise it’s off topic on Ask Ubuntu. Instead your question may fit on Super User.– David FoersterJul 15, 2018 at 10:19

Clonezilla
Clonezilla should help you backup your entire windows partition, which is the recommended way of backing it up. As an alternative,you should also try out the Backup Tool inside Windows itself, as it offers far more finer control over the backup process(such as backing up user account and profiles)
The default ubuntu backup tool, DejaDup is an excellent tool for backing up folders, but it won't help with a complete Windows Backup. It might be useful if you want to backup your windows documents folder, for instance.
