Windows 10: BitLocker drive cloning

Hey,

so I am gonna upgrade my laptops M.2 to a way bigger one and want to know if i can just do a 1 to 1 sector copy and then boot into Windows. Then I would just edit the partitions from there to use the new space. Theoretically that should work or am I overlooking something? Its software encryption so the hardware its on should theoretically not matter

My name is Andre Da Costa; an Independent Consultant, Windows Insider MVP and Windows & Devices for IT MVP. I'm here to help you with your problem.

Heed the advice of the software, you must disable BitLocker before cloning. This is highly recommend if you ever want to get access to the drive.

There is nothing wrong with having to re-enable it after restoring the clone.

Step 1: disable BitLocker.

Step 2: clone drive

Step 3: restore the cloned image to the new drive.

Step 4: Re-Enable BitLocker.

 

Clone Bitlocker enable drive to SSD

ok so to clarify. I need to disable bitlocker, clone my drive, and then re-enable bitlocker on the ssd?

and the recovery key should stay the same.

 

Clone Bitlocker enable drive to SSD

Hello, I received a new Samsung 860 EVO SSD and want to clone my current HDD to my new SSD. There's one small problem. My laptop came pre-enabled with Device Encryption also know as Bitlocker. It originally came with Windows 10 Home but I upgraded it
to pro so i have all options available. I was about to clone it when Macrium reflect said that bitlocker would be disabled on the new drive and that i would have to reenable it. How can i clone the HDD to my new SSD and keep bitlocker enabled without bitlocker
flipping out?
