Aurora R13, replacing/cloning NVMe
Hey guys I want to replace the OEM NVMe drive that came with my Aurora R13 for a bigger storage one. Can you guys guide me on how to clone the drive? Also would there be any problems/errors doing this?
Thank you much

Your system can have 2 NVMe M.2 drives. The easiest way would be to install the new drive in the second slot then clone the old drive to the new one. This YouTube video should help as it describes using Macrium Reflect Free for the process. After cloning the drive make sure to shut down the system and remove the old drive and install the new drive in slot 1. Then boot and make sure the system boots properly. If everything looks good then reinstall the old drive in slot 2
One last thing, Macrium will clone the old drive to the new drive and may make the same size partition on the new drive. If so then simply use Disk Management to make the new drive partition larger by stretching the drive.
