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!
This means a LOT to me!! Thank you, really glad the video was helpful. 😊
i agreed, honestly i haven't tried this method but it's seem legit to try. i hope my pc would be fine :)
I have some questions please reply
1. My laptop has two SSD slot so i don't need external NVMe enclosure ?
2. after cloning old ssd to new ssd can i able to do Disk partition after cloning done ?
yes you can, i'm using third party apps @@rajat9457
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!

I just wanted to say thank you! While I was professionally in the IT field for over a decade, I was put on the disabled list and no longer working due to being diagnosed with Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis which causes major issues for me with short term memory and am needing to relearn some things I used to actually do so again, thank you!
So I just came from your original tutorial from two years ago, and I got nothing but praise towards you. Fantasic and straightforward, thank you!!
Not only is this a fantastic tutorial, I think that your ability to cover the topic so comprehensively makes me feel like an expert in the subject matter. Thank you for your instruction!
Thank you! Glad the video was helpful. 😊
Thank you for making such a well put together totorial! Ninja at the computer store wanted 125 for this. Bought a 10 dollar enclosure and now i have a badass drive as well. You the real MVP! 😂
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!
Dude, I just saved this video into my Favorites!
Complete and very easy to understand. I have been working with computers since 2000, and this is one of the best, if not the best, and complete computer educational videos I have seen. Thanks a lot!
This was the very 1st tutorial that I really loved as it was step-by-step and very detailed.. Thank you, Charlie!!
Your video is far and away the best I’ve seen for doing this and I followed it in upgrading my internal NVME SSD TO 2 TB. Thanks!
Hey Mike, glad you were able to upgrade! 😊
I have some questions please reply
1. My laptop has two SSD slot so i don't need external NVMe enclosure ?
2. after cloning old ssd to new ssd can i able to do Disk partition after cloning done ?
I went over A LOT of videos! Yours on how to do this was *chefs kiss*! Seriously! I was able to follow step by step NO PROBLEM! Great video guys! Thanks a bunch!
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! 👍👍👍👍👍
You saved me so much money with your guide. Out of all of the cloning guides yours is by far the most detail and step by step. Watching your guide actually made me seem like I knew what I was doing.😂 Thank you so much.
Hello, I just want to thank you very much, I've NEVER upgraded or even OPENED my PC before in my life, and even so, I was able to do everything within an hour with zero issues following your tutorial and tips, thank you SO immensely much, Tech Guy Charlie!!
Impressive. Easy. Clear. This guy is genius. Very generous for sharing as well. Thank you.
Great tutorial. I got a new ssd for Christmas and was looking at different videos and this was the only one that explained how to do it in terms I could understand.
Exactly the same, only problem was that I had bitlocker on and had to wait 5 hours for it to turn off😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
The whole process was a breeze and thanks a lot for the detailed step by step walkthrough. Also thanks on doing an updated version with latest NVMe
@vegito_blue6226 Hey, I noticed in the video that the disk partition are gone after the cloning process and only c is shown. Is it true for you too or are your D and E disk intact?
Followed your tutorial and did it smoothly. You saved lives for this.
That sounds awesome! Thank you! 😊
Amazing tutorial. Save me so much time and I didn't have a single confused moment or issues. Did find out my laptop had a hidden second nvme slot during this so that's nice lol
That is awesome! Glad to hear it. Its even easier to clone with a 2nd slot, then you dont need an enclosure.
what laptop do you have? I would like to setup one with RAID1 drives.
Most straightforward and easy to follow video, thanks a ton!
This is an EXCELLENT tutorial! It's very thorough and detailed. Thanks!
You video was excellent - clear and very helpful and easy to understand. The part about wiping a drive w CLEAN was very useful too. Thanks for a great job!
Excellent, so much needed information other videos lack. Thank you so much!
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!!
Best tutorial I could possibly find to achieve this task. Thank you!
Thank you! Glad the video was helpful. 😊
This is the best walkthrough ever. Super helpful and easily comprehendible.
Glad it was helpful! 😊
This is the best tech instructional video I have seen on UA-cam, EVER. Detailed but concise, full of information and not missing anything out. Does what it says on the tin !!! I upgraded my onboard OS SSD to a larger capacity in double quick time. Reusing the old SSD in an external enclosure is genius !! Thanks @Tech Guy Charlie.
FYI - Subscribed 😉
I am super glad to hear this, happy to see you were able to clone without any issues! 😊 and welcome to the channel.
I have some questions please reply
1. My laptop has two SSD slot so i don't need external NVMe enclosure ?
2. after cloning old ssd to new ssd can i able to do Disk partition after cloning done ?
Nice tutorial, actually, MS could easily ask for a new product key when the hard drive is replaced. But it seems they don't do that.
Many thanks for this video! First time I've cloned and replaced an NVMe SSD and it all went perfectly - the only thing I had to do differently was disable BitLocker encryption first. Very good explanation and a really good product to make the cloning process easier. I also used the exact same SSD enclosure which had everything included in the box! Thank you.
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.
Thank You so much dude. Straight to the point, well-articulated, easy to follow also bonus repurposing of drives.
Thank You!!
Very straightforward and helpful video. Thanks for posting this!
Awesome video with the right breadth and depth! Thank you Charlie!
I have installed and supporting Point Of Sale Systems for over 25 years (self Taught for the most part) and have been exposed to many instructors either in person, remoted in to my systems, or videos... After watching your (How To Clone NV ME SSD to NEW or LARGER NV Me SSD) I had top take the time to tell you how much I appreciated how complete the tutorial was, I liked how you broke it up into sections! Also you talked slowly and were very easy to understand. Thank You Very Much...
Amazing video! This helped me upgrade my ssd to a larger ssd and I’ve never done this before. Thank you 🙏🏼
Thorough, clear, concise - couldn't ask for a more perfect tutorial! Thank you!
You're very welcome! 😊
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!
I just finished upgrading my hp laptop's ram from 8gb to 32gb and ssd from 256gb to 1tb following your step by step instructions and everything went perfectly and amazingly well. I got a Ugreen m.2 nvme enclosure because it was cheaper , a Crucial pcle 3.0 ssd and a Crucial ddr4 3200 sodimm ram on amazon and installing them was easy thanks to your tutorial. Thanks alot man, you're the best men 👍
Great video, the easiest on this subject to follow. Thank you Charlie!
Thank you! Glad the video was helpful.
this is the best guide and ive been looking for days now. cannot recommend enough. thank you so much!
Worked like a charm. Smooth and easy to understand. Great video guide!🥰
Thank you!! Glad the video was helpful! 😊
Thanks for this Video, I was looking for the Diskpart commands!
This is the only video that genuinely helped. Thank you so much and have an amazing day!!! ❤
Really glad the video was helpful. ❤
This tutorial is the best. I simply followed it along and worked without a hitch. I am in the IT business and this does not happen that often.
This video made the process so much easier. Thank you
Glad it helped! 😊
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 just moved to alaska and did the install outside. huh. To each their own.
I have some questions please reply
1. My laptop has two SSD slot so i don't need external NVMe enclosure ?
2. after cloning old ssd to new ssd can i able to do Disk partition after cloning done ?
best step by step ever.. Congrats!
Thank you. This video is exactly what I was looking for.
Thank you for such an amazing tutorial - easy to follow, clear, and concise with timestamps!
You are so welcome!😊
Very clear and helpful - thanks.
I watched Tech Guy Charlie’s video tutorial on cloning a NVMe SSD disk and I was very impressed. He explained everything clearly and made the process easy to follow. 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! 👍
This means a LOT man!! Thank you, really glad the video was able to help you out.
Loved how simple and easy this was, appreciate the help!!
That is good to hear, thank you! Glad I could help.
Thank you so much. This was a great video from start to finish. I had a SSK enclosure instead. Everything worked flawlessly - I'm totally greatfull - again Thank You !!!
Hey I am really glad the video was helpful. 😊
well explained in easy way.... thanks Charlie........
went and did it! thank you so much for this detailed tutorial!
I know virtually nothing about PC's. I had a 512 and was out of room. Bought a 2 TB and an enclosure, followed the instructions and ... works as advertised! I can't thank you enough Charlie. New subscriber here.
Hey, I am really glad the video was helpful and welcome to the channel! 😊
Thank you. I hope you made more of this turorial video! 🥰
Thank you so much. Very straightforward and very clear!
Thanks, very easy to follow!
Finally using my new NVME.
Thanks, Charlie this was a great help. I wanted to clone my old SSD from my old computer so I could use it in my new one which came with a small SSD. I used your info on how to repurpose my old SSD before I went back in your video on how to clone it. I worked a treat saved me from buying a new one.
I am super happy that the video was helpful! 😊 Glad I could help.
Just followed you step by step with my replacement m.2 (added second one to mobo and will use original as extra storage). Currently cloning a lot of data. Thank you so much for your clarity of instruction and helpful adlibs of information for slightly differing situations. So helpful
I spoke too soon haha. I did it and booted to the new drive i had cloned the older drive to, it showed as C drive, so I cleaned the old drive all was good. now when i reboot I have a blue screen 0xc000000e error and unable to boot to windows :( just tried to repair windows didn't work, trying to reinstall windows and now it's saying I can't reinstall on the primary partition because it is using a GPT as opposed to MBR (for win10). Think I'm just gonna have to lose the data and fresh install. Nevermind
@@tom.bowen2212 I'm having the same issue. You ever figure it out? I'm looking into boot repair tools, but haven't found anything that works yet.
@@tom.bowen2212macrium has been doing this to me to, every other cloning app BUT this works 🤙🏽
@@tom.bowen2212 what did u have to do? currently having same issue
Thanks from Brazil! Helped a lot!!
Thank you, Charlie for taking the time to share your knowledge. Brilliant
My pleasure!
Great tutorial! Very clear and concise!
Outstanding guide !! Wonderfully done.
Really good Info! Thank you!
Huge help, amazing tutorial. For people with two motherboard slots Don't worry as everything he does will work for you as well, And when he repurposes the old drive as a high speed USB drive you can repurpose it as backup storage on the motherboard Following the exact same process
Awesome video! Really appreciate your walkthrough. Just upgraded to a Samsung 990 Pro 4TB using your guide without a hitch. Thank you for taking the time to share this, was truly helpful! Cheers.
That sounds awesome! Glad the video was helpful. 😊
A very good concise set of instructions. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for this guide. I'm a newbie and I follow your step by step, and I successfully upgraded my Asus TUF from 256gb to 1tb. Greetings and salutations btw from the Philippines.
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!
Thank you so much. This was very useful. I hope all the tech videos are explained like this..😊
I've just followed your tuto for the same purpose and voilà! Everything went perfect. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!
Sounds awesome! Glad the video was helpful!
Awesome video and tutorial Charlie. You have made cloning and replacing my internal SSD easy and the whole process was was a breeze thanks to your knowledge. Thanks for sharing dude!

Sounds awesome!! Glad the video was helpful. 😊

The most helpful video out there! Thanks a lot!
Worked like a charm on my HP Envy Desktop. Took around an hour to clone, but as someone else said it depends on how full the drive to be cloned is.
Incredible guide!
I don't know a lot about computers, and i was still able to successfully clone and add a new ssd drive thanks to the video. Amazing instructions.
Really glad the video was helpful. 😊

simple and straight foward. thank you
Glad the video was helpful 😊
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!
Update: I just did the exact steps in the video and it was a breeze. No issues whatsoever. Thank you so much!
amazing video, answered so many questions i had in the first few minutes of watching

Welcome, and let me know if it works out!
@@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..
Thank you!! So glad the tutorial was helpful 😊 your comment means a lot.
