Transferring Windows 11 to new SSD

[getwired]

I want to pull 250gb SSD out of my laptop and install new 1 tb SSD. How do I transfer or save my Windows 11 OS to new SSD?

You will need something like this

You will need a new NVME, maybe 1tb.  Western Digital and Kingston SSDs have free Acronis cloning software

Attach the new M.2 to the adapter and run the cloning software. Make sure the target or destination drive is the new SSD

When finished, put the new M.2 in the system and save the old one.

The above works but if your 256GB has Optane memory then please read this article by Intel

Unless I am mistaken, your product ID is 2D117AV#ABA, and your system has cloud backup.  Please go here, enter your Product ID and verify that recovery is available before doing any cloning.

There is a list of SSD that are approved for your system here.  The WD or Kingston should work fine.  If you want to get an HP labeled disk then pick one from the list.  I do not recommend Opteron unless you already have Opteron and want to continue to use that type of SSD.
