Finally someone to explain the process in a right way, thank you.

Thank you for this!! Glad that there are people out there that make videos on how to do things. Currently cloning my 512G NVMe SSD to my new 2TB NVMe SSD. Hopefully all goes well!

Thank you for posting such a thorough video with wonderfully concise steps. Definitely made my transplant operation a 100% success.

showing an accurate and deep understanding; great perceptive. Thank you for all the insightful information. 💡

This is perfect. I've seen a couple videos of yours and, maybe it's just me but you have a great way of teaching and it's greatly appreciated. I wish I found your vids before wasting time trying to get info and price gouge attempts from Dell.

Just would like say thank you very much. Your details and steps make everything simple. Good job!

Good and steadily paced instructional! Pulling together the pieces to upgrade my Dell G5 based on this and already sourced the adapter and MVMe SSD. Thanks and subbed. :-)

this was exactly what i was looking for because i'm going to be doing all three of those things

Thank you so much for this. Followed your instructions step by step and all went well. Done on an HP pavillon 15 and a Crucial 1TB ssd new drive.

Thanks this really helped. I wouldn’t have thought extending the C drive partition so thanks. The clone worked perfectly and I now have a nice 1TB which was a massive storage update from my 250GB drive which I am now using as an external drive.

I used Aomei Partition Assistant and actually paid for it. It wouldn't clone over the Recovery Environment and it was a 2 day headache. Thanks to your video and Marcium Reflect, I was able to clone my Dell Inspiron 15 7000 Gaming 128GB to a 1TB Crucial and actually have my RE in tact. Thank you and I hope life rewards you greatly.

This worked great! Awesome video, very helpful

Thanks for showing us how to clone a drive. It was very helpful

Excellent instructions! I downloaded the cloning software you used some time ago but was still very reluctant to attempt any type of SSD upgrade on my Dell Inspirion 3585 15.6in Touch screen laptop until I saw your video today. Now Im going to do it as soon as possible thanks to your video and the recommendation you gave on the cloning software you use. THANKS AGAIN!

This worked like a charm! Thank you so much!

OH wow!! just what I have been looking for, you were so precise in your explanation, I have the confidence to do this myself. Thank you. x

Awesome walk-through, thanks!

I can see this in the near future for me! Thanks for the how to!

Saved my bacon twice today. I watched another clone video HDD to crucial SSD. Of course I had to subscribe. I'm sure I'll learn alot more by watching your channel.

Thank you for this video it has been very helpful!

thank you for you guide. It was very helpful and i was able to clone my ssd drive perfectly !!

very informative, I just did cloned my old 256gb NVMe to 1tb NVMe , thank's to this video.

Fantastic and simple. One thing that I find that helps is a list of steps that can also be printed - maybe in PDF form. I tend to do this with videos that I watch because I am normally using the PC that is being or going to be modified and cannot be on it and watching at the same time. Having a printed step by step is helpful also because I can check off items as I complete them. A little old school - but... thanks .

Thanks So Much ; Exactly What I Needed To Know !

I like that this is from the perspective of working on a customer computer, keep up the good work.

Fantastic video that I wish I saw yesterday. I did a full clone, then did the resizing after. Took me hours to find out what I did wrong. About to pop my new 1TB SSD in. I hope I boot up... Subbed!

thank you for your videos i liked using the plugable adapter macruim reflect doesnt work for me so i bought a seagate baracuda nvme m.2 ssd, and used there seagate disk wizard. its like acronus. it cloned fast the first time. again thanks for the great videos. keep making more thanks

I found this video very informative and followed it exactly to upgrade my laptop. I was upgrading the primary (C:) drive from a 256GB to a 1TB NVMe. All went well until I restarted my machines after the process and found applications I had installed on the secondary (D:) drive were no longer available. I discovered both drives had been encrypted using BitLocker and some how the key for the D: had been compromised by replacing the primary drive. The original primary drive, now residing in the enclosure, is still encrypted but, as I hope not to need the files on it, I am not concerned at this point. The lesson-learned is to remove BitLocker from those drives that might be affected before commencing the cloning procedure, and more importantly, reinstate BitLocker once complete. I suspect Windows 11 will ease this issue because, unlike Win 10, it expects there to be a TPM on the motherboard for storing encryption keys.

This is exactly what i wanted.

Dude you just saved me so much money I usually go to geeksquad I put in 2 16ram tho fire new 980 evo

GREAT,GREAT,GREAT, Thank you.

Good stuff brother my family thanks you

Thank you for the video kind sir Awesome

Thanks!

Thanks! This video really helped me with cloning and installing ram and ssd. I'm now a subscriber to Cadillac Computer Center.

Thank you sir

very good, need to do this on HP omen laptop

Honestly, I can't believe there are still people who send their laptops to an engineer just to upgrade an SSD and RAM 😄 I would get it if to required soldering, button just clone the disc and unscrew a couple of screws...

Hey thanks for the useful video. I have one question however: My laptop has a spare SSD slot that I'd like to install an upgraded SSD as my main C drive, but to keep the existing SSD installed for files and games etc... Is the process any different during the cloning and installation phase? Cheers.

I'm doing the same thing with a Dell Vostro 3510, I notice that you never have to touch the bios. It automatically finds the new drive .

After cloning, hard drive didn't show in file explorer like yours. And after inserting it into the PC it wasn't seen as a bootable drive.

What happens if I don't unplug the battery?

I followed your instructions but when I booted up my cloned ssd I get the error code 0xc000000e. I’m not able too boot in safe mode, any advice???

So where do ya get the stick that the m.2 goes into for cloning purposes?

I have an Intel Optane H10 512 GB SSD in my Inspiron 7506. Will this process work for upgrading to a non-Optane SSD?

Whats the little price you used for usb

Make a video on how find out ...how to get the right ram memory and all the parts would help a lot. Thanks

I recently bought a new 17 7000 series Dell which when I opened it had 2 DIMM RAM slots and 256 GB M2. I called customer support to verify that I could upgrade the RAM to 32 GB and increase the M2 to 2 TB. The India based customer support said that this Dell was limited to 16 GB of RAM and 1 TB of NVMe. I don't see why it can't take the 32 GB RAM cards x 2 and a 2 TB MVMe card. How do I confirm that a modern mother board can be upgraded to better components. I returned the laptop as it only had one bay for storage. I thought it would have at least 2 bays.

HI, thanks for your video I did all that you did but my end result was different. The unallocated space isn't recognized and it only seeing 256 instead of 1 tb. How do I fix this?

The manufacturer indicates that the laptop comes with Intel optano , can I instal any SSD SATA NVE, I mean more than just 16GB?

Nice video but I can't get it to work for me :( I followed the exact steps and was able to clone the SSD but windows won't boot up for me. Any advice

I tried all this and it wasn’t recognized by my laptop when I installed the new 2tb m.2 drive. What did I do wrong?

What was the adapter again for usb to m.2? Didn't see it in the show notes.

Very useful video. Thanks. I got the same laptop with some different features. I installed an m2 nvme ssd but it is not shown in booting options on bios. I tried everything i know but could't find a solution. Do you have any advice sir? If you can help me i would appreciate

Hey Dale, I'm doing this procedure as well following your every move just like the other video. For this one, after I situate the partitions from Source -> Destination and hit Next I get a message about Bitlocker not being enabled and to enable it after I clone. I didn't take it any further, I see you didn't have that on yours so just trying to figure out how to go about it. I know how to enable/disable it but read some horror stories about not being able to boot and/or re-enable Bitlocker. As always any insight or advice is very much appreciated. Wy wife already wants to chop off my beans for getting this laptop and investing further in SSD's and RAM so if I completely screw it up I'm a dead man.

This didn't work for me at all, the cloned SSD just blue screened and wouldn't boot. Update: Disabled Bitlocker and tried again, worked like a charm !

Lost me with the resizing bit, is there an auto sizing feature?

will this work if my original nvme drive has a raid interface?

I couldn't find the link for the usb adapter...

I tried it and it got an error 9

Would not accept code
