Cloning the NVME boot drive in a laptop with only one M.2 slot
I've researched this enough to know it's possible to clone the NVME boot SSD on my new Lenovo T14 to an external drive then somehow move that clone back onto a newer/bigger NVME SSD that I'd have swapped out into the T14. The boot drive has the latest W10 version (20H2, build as of a week ago).
OTOH, I have a desktop with two NVME M.2 slots. Would it be a better idea to put the laptop boot NVME in one of the slots and the new bigger NVME into the other slot and do the cloning there? Any advantages to doing it this way? BTW, I've already taken out the boot SSD from the laptop with the intention of doing it this way but just thought I'd ask.
I'll be using Macrium Reflect, which I haven't downloaded yet. I'm no stranger to building my own desktops but I've never cloned anything. Thanks.
