Migrating between SSDs
So my Dell PC was running low on drive space. It came with a 256Gb NVME ssd.
I ordered another SSD (Crucial) from Amazon and a USB NVME reader. I tried using GPARTED to image from disk to disk, but it apparently can't do that. I downloaded another free app, DiskGenius, but didn't end up using it. I ended up using Clonezilla. I had a heck of a time finding the ISO for it, but eventually found it, installed it onto a thumb drive and used that to image the new SSD off the old one.
Now, I specified that I wanted to grow the partitions to fill the new drive, but for some reason, Clonezilla failed to do that.
To grow the Windows 11 partition, I deleted the restore points and then booted into GPARTED in the thumb drive and used it to delete the system restore partitions and expanded the main Windows partition.
It took all evening, but I finally have my 1Tb SSD as the boot device in my tower.
I was going to add a 4Tb spinning disk, but when I looked inside, there's no place for a spinning disk, nor is there any way to power it, so I'm out of luck there.
