Done ! thank you for the guidance...Mission Complete !

Yup. thats what I did. thanks so much !

"New Simple Volume" clicking that takes me to a "New Simple Volume Wizzard" that asks for the size of the new volume and then the letter id like to assign it.

I think I like being able to have another drive I can just install stuff on and leave the windows drive alone. And when you say NEW partition, you mean creating a simple volume and assigning a new letter to it ?

Good news ! I think I got it going. Small question though. I only have my imaged partitions available on my new SSD. The rest of it is unallocated. Should I click on simple volume to assign a new drive letter to the unallocated portion of the SSD ?

Will regroup and try again. The partitions on the new SSD appear to match those on external HDD. Ifbmy new SSD isn't booting, can I use the usb to recover the image on the HDD to the new SSD ?

In the app, I selected, "create an image of the partitions required to backup and restore windows" The image is on the new SSD, but just not bootable it seems. Was there another option I was supposed to select to create a bootable image ?

Everything was going smooth until I restarted the machine after completing the steps above. Now when I boot, I get the message that my disk needs to be repaired. Restarting the machine after that, I can go into the bios and can see the new SSD. I guess there's something wrong with the image ?

had to go hunting to find out this information. So, I've 2 disks installed: SSD 256 GB Windows drive (c: ) M.2 (model: KXG60ZNV256G) HDD 1 TB Data drive (d: ) 3.5 SATA (model: DT01ACA100 )

yes that I copied from the specs sheet from the online store for the computer. Having a visual look at the board, i can only see the one M.2 port (hosting the 256 SSD). I'm not sure what's attached to that other M.2. I would have to remove bays and stuff to see the fuller picture. If it makes...

Ah i see where the confusion is. I only have a single M.2 port (which is occupied by my 256 ssd) and then there's the HDD using some other port

Thank you for your reply. A couple follow-up questions: I do have the internal 1 TB HDD. would I not be able to save the image here ? If I were to buy that pci-e adapter and kept my 256 for storage...is that a worthwhile option (to keep the 256 ssd as secondary storage)

thanks for your reply. would I need to get an adapter to make the M.2 SSD to SATA port connection ? This pc didnt come with any extra cables.

Hello I currently have this build: Motherboard: HP 8767 Intel Core i7-10700F 1TB HDD 256GB SSD (KXG60ZNV256G) 32GB RAM GeForce GTX 1660 Super 1 x PCI-E x16 - Occupied; 1 x PCI-E x1 - Available; 2 x M.2 - Occupied I am currently booting off the SSD, and would like to upgrade that to a 1 TB...
