If all tech guides could be this comprehensive and easy to understand the world would be a better place. Just went from 256 to a 2tb..not a hitch in sight. Great tutorial Charlie!

yes you can, i'm using third party apps @@rajat9457

[@Shinjite1754]

​@rajat9457 partition will automatically be there after the cloning is done as you are cloning the the whole drive. Partitions are included when cloning a drive. And if you have two slots you don't need the external enclosure.

[@ronwilson9880]

This tutorial was EXACTLY what I needed! My son was gifted a 2TB NVMe SSD to replace his 500GB this past weekend for his 14th birthday... I had absolutey NO CLUE how to make the swap. I spent hours researching online and was about to return the NVMe for a SATA SSD to just gain the extra storage without risking messing something up. Then somehow I found this video. I ordered an enclosure on Sunday, it arrived today, and less than an hour later we were done with the swap with no issues at all! Thank you Charlie! You helped me do something I never would have attempted without the clear guidance you provided!

@@rajat9457 Yes, however if you're using it as your main ssd (c drive/boot drive), you will want it to be in whichever slot is faster, usually the first slot. The second slot can absolutely be used if they're both the same speed, you will have to configure the boot drive in BIOS, however.

I just wanted to say thank you!

I upgraded to a 2tb without a hitch. Very easy to understand tutorial and not any detail missed. I didn't have to guess at anything. Local computer repair shops quoted $75 to $125 in labor only to do the clone. The re-purpose of the old drive is an added bonus! Thanks Charlie!

[@mikeprowler4735]

Charlie, I am now subscribed to your channel. I followed your video to the letter, right down to using the same enclosure (which happened to be on sale for 16.99 USD). I cloned the 512 GB in my desktop to a 1TB WD_BLACK SN770. I'll be honest that I didn't have much faith in Macrium based on issues I experienced with it many years ago. The entire procedure went flawlessly, however, thanks to your concise instructions. My enclosure did not get as hot as yours did. It stayed about 34 degrees the whole time. The new drive is smoking fast. I plan to do the same with another desktop I use for logging. Thanks for the excellent video! 👍👍👍👍👍

Excellent writeup!! I’ve been wanting to upgrade my 512GB SSD in my laptop to a 2TB SSD but became concerned when I learned it only has 1 slot as I am not familiar with the proper procedure when you don’t have a 2nd slot. Watching this tutorial has alleviated all of my worries and I now feel fully comfortable doing it on my own!! Thank you, Charlie!!

[@cycleman55]

Great video. One thing I've done to alleviate the warm enclosure is to get a small heatsink with fins (Amazon has them) and with a small quick grip clamp, lay the heatsink across the enclosure and very lightly clamp them together. This helps to dissipate the heat from the enclosure.

I ordered a similar NVMe SSD case to the one he recommended, and I was able to use my old drive as an external one. Thanks to him, I upgraded my PC without any hassle. More importantly, I saved a bit of money doing it myself as opposed to having my PC come with the larger storage drive. Great video, thanks Tech Guy Charlie! 👍

I saw your link for this updated tutorial. With fingers crossed, I'm about to follow your tutorial. I ordered a larger 2tb NVMe M.2 SSD only to find that I had just one M.2 slot. My specs said I could add multiple SSD drives, and I did not fully check the motherboard before ordering. So I plan to install the larger drive and use the old SSD as an external drive in the enclosure. So far the migration is at 52%. Everything is going smoothly! Thanks again for your help and informative content.

Hey, how did it go? were you able to upgrade to the new SSD?

[@BoomDocs14K]

@@TechGuyCharlie thanks to you, I completed the process flawlessly and cleaned the old ssd drive as you advised by command prompts. Your video was heaven-sent and I appreciated it. Last question: Is there a way to internally install the extra M.2 SSD with the PCle cables? Like an adapter? Just curious because my graphics card is inserted into the slot that could be used! Thanks again!!!!

Awesome tutorial, easy to follow and well explained. Just one thing that I experienced, if you have an anti-virus scanning your drives, ensure it's deactivated before running the cloning process. It will cause it to fail and might mess up your drive.

[@TechGuyCharlie]

That is actually a really useful tip, that actually might be the reason why some said the cloning process thew up error or it why the new drive didnt boot, and thank you, glad the video was helpful. 😊

Thanks alot man, you're the best men 👍

[@Dwyeb73]

All went smoothly until reboot. I did internal m2. swap. Principal was the same. Changed Bios to boot to new drive. Worked fine. Cleared old drive upon reboot. Ten hours later and a windows restore I had fixed. I have always had issues with every OS from MS. No surprise really but I never found a way to get that new drive to boot even using several resources. My internal transfer speeds between M2’s reach 3,000 mbps.

[@xTenseiga_]

did h solve this issue? Just did whole steps and tried swapping the m.2s, mine wont even boot. Now deleted the new m.2 and restarting from step 1 incase i messed up anything

[@paulchamberlain7942]

Just did this clone to the letter and it failed to boot with errors after multiple self restarts :) In the BIOS I noticed the new SSD had been identified correctly. I tried changing the boot order in an attempt to get the BIOS to write something, but when I went to 'save changes and exit' I was told there was no changes to save. And the failed boot sequence again. I then went back to BIOS and did a self test on the new SSD. Which passed. Went to 'save changes and exit' again, knowing I hadn't changed anything, and got asked to confirm saving these test results. I said yes, that forced the BIOS to save changes, and then the system booted up perfectly so I could write this comment. TLDR : Get the BIOS to save changes by changing something, if you have what looks like a disaster on your hands. Maybe optimized defaults would be a safe choice for those who aren't too lazy to set all their Qfan parameters again. Thank you for your guide. Tip: don't panic even if things go horribly wrong, you still got your original drive that you just cloned safe right? [Update] The next day I got crashes. Eventually I uninstalled the SSD driver and rebooted. No crashes since then and no other problems. I recommend anyone trying this cloning to uninstall SSD driver after cloning but before the shut down for SSD swap. If these tips help someone following this procedure, then you are very welcome, remember to do the same for others if you get the chance.

[@djjesseryan81]

I'm literally having the same issue, except I can not get mine to boot. I followed the instructions ✅️, I checked the UEFI and confirmed that the new SSD there ( system information/ storage) it says its NVMe. 1.81TB which I upgraded from 512GB. I got a Crucial T500 2TB Gen4 NVMe M.2 ssd (if that info helps ) I ran a couple of diagnostic tests which got saved to the Test log. I'm not sure what I'm missing. Thinking I'm just going have to put my original ssd back in. Ugh

[@hes_elbow522]

I'm looking to upgrade my storage or my m.2. I didn't understand how I'd do it with an itx system with only one m.2 slot and no extra nvme slots, but even after the last tutorial I completely understand what I need and how to do it. You made two really good tutorials. Good job!

[@cram1nblaze]

Typing this from my freshly cloned SSD following these steps and was surprised I only had to watch about 1/3rd of the video to get all the info I needed. Thank you sir.

[@RubenHernandez-ii1mj]

Did everything you instructed, but cloned ssd would not boot on the USB. After hours of beating our head against the wall, we took a break. Replaced Dhhd with solid state upgrade ,to 2TB. Clonned small c ssd to large d ssd. Removed original Cssd with larger ssd. Cloned D to new C. Worked fine. When trying to boot off newly cloned c in usb adapter, it would not boot because of the drivers. Once the new ssd was installed on motherboard and cloned off D ssd, the drivers were different and boot up was successful. It was the drivers that threw is off. My 128 GB ssd is now a 1TB ssd. The 1 TB hd (slow) was replaced with 2 TB ssd. I'm a happy camper.

@@inityoWhat do you mean? I’m having issue with this. The first boot after putting in new cloned SSD it boots normally but after 2nd or 3rd boot the boot partition isn’t correct. In bios it shows the Windows Boot Manager until 2nd or 3rd boot but after that it does not appear however it does in the boot selection screen as the third option and I must mention the name is blank.

Hello Charlie, I'm having an issue. I followed the tutorial very closely but after I had cloned and swapped the drives my computer did not boot into windows. I instead got the message: "reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key" I really have no idea what I've done wrong. I did clean the drive with cmd - diskpart before the cloning but I'm not sure how that would be a problem. I'm retrying now without ejecting the nvme enclosure before I swap the drives to see if that helps in any way but I'm not confident. I would really appreciate some pointers if you have any or if anyone else have run into the same problem and gotten a fix. Thanks!

[@mattvsworld3266]

I'm getting this as well!

[@tedfritzart]

I've researched a bit and I believe my issue is that the operating system is linked to an ID on the drive. As I don't want to mess with changing it (could break stuff as I'm not experienced enough) the only solution for me is to reinstall windows on the new drive and copy over the files from the old one afterwards. You might have the same problem.@@mattvsworld3266

[@TechGuyCharlie]

Could you change the boot order in the BIOS settings? make sure that its actually booting from the new NVMe and not stuck to the old one. 🤔 please report back..

[@tedfritzart]

Hi, I did try that with the same message popping up. I also realized that it can't boot from the old one as it is in the external enclosure and I tried booting with both the external connected and unconnected to no avail. My next attempt will be to insert a bootable usb with windows when the message pops up and try to repair windows. Thanks and will update! @@TechGuyCharlie

Hello again Charlie, thought I'd check in. Macrium Reflect had an update (3 days before expiring phew) and it fixed everything. I think there was some operation that was supposed to run but didn't in the older version to fix windows not booting issue. So all is good now, thanks!@@TechGuyCharlie

[@TechGuyCharlie]

Really glad the video was helpful. 😊

[@mrkngkhan]

Wow man this was super fast and right to the point. I actually did it without the enclosure because I had two NVme slots on my desktop. I was hesitant to delete the other disk but cleaned it out, now I can use my freed up SSD in my PS5!

[@gagesmith-ingodwerock]

My guy, you have helped me so much with this video. I now have freed-up space and a new external nvme hard drive. Thank you!

[@TechGuyCharlie]

Glad I could help!

[@carnifexrex3766]

Great tutorial! Very clear and concise!

[@koreycabra.]

I'll be doing this from a generic 500gb to a Crucial T500 1TB in about a week, and I'm a bit nervous about it. I grew up using the spinning drives, but this is a very detailed guide and I am grateful for the step-by-step. I'll do my best to follow it.

[@TechGuyCharlie]

Thank you, please let me know if everything goes smoothly! Fun fact, the procedure is exactly the same if you were cloning a spinning drive :D

[@koreycabra.]

@@TechGuyCharlie Thanks to your instructions, I did it perfectly and it cloned well. I was going to leave the 500GB as a backup, but for now I just made it a separate drive like you did in the video. Gave me a weird pop-up about re-formatting when I was making a new volume, but I disregarded and it finished allocating without further issue. I'm sure if I need to I could backup at least a part of my system to the 500GB. I was only using about 280GB of the 500GB, but I wanted to move to the 1TB Crucial with faster speed for my work and gaming rather than continuing to use the slower, generic SSD.. Thanks for all you do.

Amazing video! This helped me upgrade my ssd to a larger ssd and I’ve never done this before. Thank you 🙏🏼

Thank you Charlie, your tutorial is the best I have ever seen, I will give it a go in the next few weeks.

[@TechGuyCharlie]

Welcome, and let me know if it works out!

[@user-qn7io4mj3c]

@@TechGuyCharlie Hi Charlie, I've just finished cloning my 1tb NVME to a 4tb NVME using your tutorial and it went flawlessly. Your video is so good that a non techie guy like me felt confident doing it. I have also re-purposed the 1TB one as a flash drive. A big big thank you charlie, I couldn't have done this without you. P.S. your right about the Macrium Reflect software, its beautiful, and simple to use..

[@TechGuyCharlie]

[@zigizum7429]

amazing video, answered so many questions i had in the first few minutes of watching

[@TechGuyCharlie]

Hey, glad I could help! By the way, were you able to clone successfully?

[@rikuumii]

This is a great video. I had no idea I could reuse the old SSD as a usb. This is perfect as I use a USB to back up games. When I upload recent game files to the USB, it takes forever. Now I can move it fast! Thank you so much!

[@rikuumii]

Update: I just did the exact steps in the video and it was a breeze. No issues whatsoever. Thank you so much!

[@hole9my9]
