I have a Dell Inspiron 13" 2-in-1 laptop model 7373 which is currently fitted with a 250Gb SanDisk X400 M.2 2280 SATA SSD.
I have purchased a new 500Gb Samsung 970 Evo Plus NVMe M.2 PCIe SSD and plan to replace the existing 250Gb SanDisk with this new Samsung SSD.
My question is how can I clone my existing SATA SSD to my new NVMe SSD without purchasing an external NVMe enclosure for the new SSD so I can connect it externally via USB 3.1 and do a straight clone?
I have been assured by Dell and Samsung that the new NVMe SSD will work fine in my Dell laptop but I don't know how to make a clone between the two SSD drives.
I do have a 1TB external 2.5" USB drive. Is it possible to clone my existing SanDisk SSD to the external USB drive. Replaced the existing SanDisk SSD in the laptop with the new Samsung SSD and then boot from the external USB drive. Then clone my external USB drive back onto the new Samsung SSD installed?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
Steve
