My new SSD cam in the mail this morning! What steps do I need to take before removing the old SSD and installing the new one?
Then what do I need to do after turning my computer back on with the new SSD installed?

I normally do to upgrade to a larger (capacity) drive:
(a) Clone existing old drive to new drive using USB-M.2 adapter
(b) Replace old with new.
Regards.

I don't have an adapter. Can you send me a link for the right adaptor? Or are they all the same?
Also, if I purchase the adapter, can I then use the old ssd as an external storage device?
