      Bitlocker isn't on windows 11 home. So it's weird that it's on yours unless you upgraded your windows version. However windows does have encryption on the HD anyway it's just not bitlocker. So might wanna disable that.

      Bitlocker absolutely is on some people's Ally's from the factory, and it seems some, not. The ROG Ally Discord had a bunch of examples.

    Originally I was going to do a cloud restore but since I hadn't installed much on the ROG Ally I decided to give your approach a try. Took less than 15 minutes to clone the old drive and probably 5 minutes to swap out the SSD. Works great and now I've got plenty of space. Thanks!

      My unit didn’t have bitlocker installed. It didn’t have Windows encryption activated either. I used a grounding strap just to be sure. I purchased an Orico drive enclosure from Amazon which worked well. I was a little concerned about opening the unit, but the experience gave me enough confidence that I could do it again, if necessary.

    I just followed this video today to clone a 2tb WD Black drive because cloud recovery is apparently not working right now. Everything went relatively well, except during the cloning process, my screen turned off, and then my Ally went into sleep mode. I pressed the power button, and woke up my Ally. The cloning process proceeded to finish without issue. The only things i had to do once I got my new drive installed, was reinstall Armoury Crate, and log back into my launchers. Very helpful video, but keep in mind, it may not go as smoothly as you expect. But don't panic if something unexpected happens, everything should work out fine. Thanks for making this video.

    Wanted to thank you for this guide & post my feedback for others. I upgraded from the 512gb to a 2tb SSD that I took out of my Steam Deck that I dual booted SteamOS and Windows. I did take a few hours to wipe and clone to the drive and once I got it all done & installed in my Ally I had to plug in the power cable (prob. due to unplugging the battery) and it hung on the splash screen for about a minute before it booted.
    All in all everything seems to be functioning as expected after the swap. I considered using Asus's cloud recovery but this method was definitely more ideal since I had a couple of games and such already installed.

    just want to leave an updated comment from my last one. IT WORKED! No issues smooth as silk I am very pleased. If you get the prompt for "The following BitLocker encrypted Drive will be cloned without enabling Bitlocker on the target: C: - OS" just keep going with it there shouldn't be any issues! I also recommend a fully charged battery as you can' t do the clone and have the device plugged in at the same time obviously. To be on the safe side I ran in silent 10w mode and that took about 45 minutes to do the clone. But my guess is that with a charged battery on performance it will take a half hour like it did for Joey and you should still have around 50% battery left. Time to start downloading some more games =)

All works now since then. No issues. So hopefully your remote install works cos that would be the most convenient.

    When I tried my PH0 screwdriver it felt if it didn't grip the screw and it was just turning and felt if i push the screwdriver too much it would damage the screw too much. I've heard that the SSD screw needs a PH1 screwdriver.

      I used a PH0 personally, but if 1 works better for you, you can use that.

      @@JoeysRetroHandhelds well i have to try that whenever my iFixit kit arrives. Not sure if some PH0 are pointier than others as I just used one from a local diy shop.

    So what I noticed was that when I upgraded to 1 TB certain games began to stutter. I downloaded CrystalInfo and the NVMe was at 79 degree Celsius. So it was thermal throttling. I switched back to the original one and this one stays under 62 degrees Celsius. So now I know why Asus only offers 512 GB of storage.

    I love you tutorial, quick question, I do not have a dock. Will I have enough time to clone on 100percent battery? or should i get a dock?

      Hard to tell, depends on how full, the profile etc. You can certainly try, it doesn't hurt, others have been doing it.

    I THINK I turned off bitlocker although it was just a switch that said turn off or on encryption for drive. cloned SSD with Macrium reflect.
    Swapped drive.
    Now I boot up. See the login screen no problem. Once it logs in I get a black screen and can only see my mouse cursor. Can even move the mouse around with my Bluetooth mouse. I can use a keyboard to do ctri alt delete and choose task manager but then still black screen except for mouse cursor
    Any help?

    Do I need a dock or a charging brick with multiple USB c outlets, or can I plug the m.2 enclosure directly into the Ally and have enough battery power to clone the new drive?

      Depends on how much storage you have taken up, battery likely won't last.

    Cloned my stock nvme was curious before the cloning there was no d drive partition. After cloned this kept bothering me. This video shows no drive partion either. Anyone know why? I know this is console will be used by most for games. But wouldn't it be better to have a d partition for games documents media photos and such?

    After the first clone, the new 1TB SSD only had 500GB available. I was actually sure that everything would fit, so I didn't check as recommended in the video. So now I'm doing the operation a second time in the hope that everything will work now. Or is there another way to release the hidden storage space later?
