Mate all I did was called you a newbie, if you take that as being called ignorant that's an issue you have to resolve within yourself.

You will need to boot from a USB on the PC you want to make an image of, any Linux should do, and use DD to make an image of the existing drive.
You need to be very careful with DD and exact naming of the input and output drive (named file in DD), and use fdisk to find out those exact names.
That is quite some steps and many ways to mess things up, subsequently end up with a useless system.
Only after you start dealing with all of the above you can know exactly how hard it is to advise anyone about it.
-
A bit easier way is to download and write to a USB CloneZilla, then boot from it and use the limited GUI included with it, again being careful when choosing the source and destination drives.
-
Both ways above will require having the same exact space as the source drive for the destination, or bigger.

Old mate was specifically asking about the RPi images, this is one of 2 threads where the subject was raised. And yeah I got a bit pissed.

After this comment:

Thank you for your response, and also for your subtle sarcasm in calling me ignorant every time I comment or ask for help in the threads you also participate in.



But I'm not anymore. The stress has been deleted. :)
