that feeling when you open a Youtube video and you found exactly what you wanted to find. Excellent, thanks mate!

[Terreos]

This is exactly how I like my tutorial videos. Short, sweet and too point. Excellent work. Keep it up.

Man you made this so easy. Thank you. I was struggling to understand the process of re-formatting the old ssd, but you made it very coherent. My man!

YOU ARE A GODSEND
I was gifted a 1TB upgrade and currently had a 250gb... i thought.."wait my motherboard can only support one!!"
I was already going to go through the hassle of purchasing a hard drive for the process.

Not sure why it took me so long to find your video. Many thanks.

You are the man! Been trying to do this very thing for over a month. Watched this video and I had my new/bigger M.2 installed with in 2 to 3 hours. This is the best tutorial video I can find on this subject, so thank you.

Thank you very much! I want to upgrade my 250 GB M.2 SSD to 1 TB but have no idea how. This video gets straight to the point and explains everything in concise detail. Now I know what do!

[SammyJ]

Don't forget to remove any encryption (e.g. Bitlocker) from your current drive or else you won't be able to expand the copied partition! It also takes way longer.

This is freaking amazing. I just bought an HP Envy 15-ep0010nr and then purchased a 2TB M.2 ssd because it was cheaper for me to do it myself. My current hardware came with a 512 GB ssd. Thank you so much.

Don’t forget to unplug power and battery. It could cause damage to the drive itself if you don’t.

[John-lzey]

What a great video and good instructor! Short and sweet. I am swapping two m.2 PCIE NVME SSD's, so except for the adapter type, the steps are the same.

[sydneyfrancesca]

THANK YOU! This is the only video I've come across so far that didn't show me how to transfer files from hard drive to ssd or vice versa. I am looking to replace my m.2 ssd for a larger one and have no other internal storage. I ordered the USB piece so hoping it will work.

[josea.ramirez]

I just upgraded my laptop drive to a larger one with absolutely no issues. Whole process was about a hour. If your laptop support both drive units, leave both inserted, boot to the new one and make sure to format the old drive. I did it, no issues at all. Really happy with the upgrade.

Many thanks. I just upgraded the M.2 C drive on my main tower PC using this tool and the procedure you describe. It worked a treat so major thanks for sharing.

[MaineiacSean]

Well now.... this is so much easier than all of the other videos showed. To think I was considering bringing my laptop to a computer shop just replace my 500gig ssd with a 1tb .... I think I got this!

[JLndon]

Thank you!! I am so tired of finding videos that make it seem so much more difficult when it should be easy like this!

[JosheyG]

May have to give this a try. 512GB SSD isn't enough when you have Hyperworks files that are 8-10gigs

[PatrickBarbary]

Great video. ONE IMPORTANT DETAIL: It will fail if your disk it Bitlocked. Make sure you unlock your disks.

[eyvin_helvetia]

Thanx mate, this grind my gear before, because I have 920GB data on my old M.2, which is mostly game. Of course I didn't want to download it over again from Steam and I found this video from YouTube recommend video. God Bless you mate

[Arklight.]

You seem to have neglected to mention that you have to actually BUY the full version if you’re planning to close a disk, other than that it’s a good tutorial, nicely done.

[diegohuijbregtsgarcia]

my 256SSD + 1tb conventional HDD are getting pretty full. Guess I know what I want for Christmas now!

thanks
