How to Clone Old 2.5 SATA Onto New Laptop With M.2 SSD
Hello everyone, as you can see, I don't know much about modern computing, so please bear with me as I am sure to get some of the terms wrong. I appreciate the experienced people here and hope you can assist me in determining what I want to accomplish with my new laptop. BLUF: My old laptop has a 2.5‘ SATA SSD. I recently purchased a new laptop that has an M2 SSD and an empty 2.5‘ SATA slot. Both SSDs have a capacity of 250 GB. I despise change and want to keep my existing settings, user profiles, and software--basically, I want to duplicate the complete experience of my old laptop on my new laptop. Is this feasible? How do I go about doing it?
