Hi,
currently, I use SATA SSD on my HP ProBook 440 G4 (it has both SATA and M2 slots) where I have Windows 10 Education (v1909) installed.
I bought a new m.2 SSD and would like to use the OS to this disk and use then the slot where SATA SSD was for HDD as data storage.
Storage specs:
current: Samsung SSD 850 EVO 250 GB
new: Samsung - PM981a 256GB SSD bulk (MZVLB256HBHQ-00000)
Which would be best choice: migrate or clone?
Which tool would you recommend?
Currently, I use Acronise True Image 2020 for my backups. They also have the option for clonning. But I read that many people had troubles with this tool when clonning, so maybe I should consider something other? I read often about free Macrium Tool and also there is mention about native Samsung tool.
Acronis knowledge base has also this recommendation:
As I mentioned, I have Windows Education license, thought I'm not student anymore. I wonder why it still works and happy that is still works. Of course, I'd be interested if I'll potentially will have any license issues after clonning?
Regards,

How can I check the controller mode?Note: It is recommended that your old and new hard drives work in the same controller mode (for example, IDE or AHCI). Otherwise, your computer might not start from the new hard drive.
