My first question here, so hope it's not too stoopid!
I want to extend my boot drive to 500GB or 1TB as currently almost full using a really old Crucial M4-CT256M4SSD2
Spec for my mobo is here https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/Z97M-G43 and I'd rather not upgrade it unless I have to.
But I am confused about which M.2 SSD it will support. Can I buy NVMe or do I have to stick with SATA? Any other factors?
Second question … how upgrade from existing SSD without reinstalling Windows/applications? Many years ago I moved onto the existing SSD with some kind of cloning tool, as far as I remember... any tips??
Thanks all for any advice!
