Windows 10: Trouble upgrading nvme m.2 SSD

HiI have a Lenovo Yoga 6 13ALC6 AMD Ryzen5 5500Uwith a 256gb nvme m.2 SSD running windows 11 home.I am wanting to swap the 256gb Toshiba SSD for a 1tb Samsung 970 Evo Plus.After initialising the drive in windows disk management I have tried using Samsungs migration tool to clone the Toshiba SSD to the new larger Samsung drive. This is with a the new Samsung new drive inside a sabrent USB enclosure. No progress is being made, a quick search revealed that it is probably due to the original drive having bitlocker encryption. I can’t find any way of switching this off and decrypting the drive..A

Issue with upgrading to m.2 NVME, Help?

I've done what "ignatzsonic" has done, multiple times.

Image the existing SSD to another drive, which could be the internal HD or an external one. Use the imaging software to create a bootable USB rescue drive. Swap SSDs. Boot from the USB rescue drive, and restore the image to the new SSD. Use Disk Management to resize the main partition if the new SSD is larger than the old, and the imaging software didn't already do that.

Is the laptop in question the ASUS FX553VD? A little Web search suggests that it supports NVME M.2 SSDs, but I wish that I was certain. It worries me slightly that Crucial doesn't list any M.2 NVME SSD upgrades for it.

 

Upgrade m.2 NVMe 256GB SSD to a larger m.2 NVMe SSD

This is what I am getting with my WD-Black m.2 SSDs

WD_Black 256GB SN720




WD_Black 1TB SN750




I see that a SN750 is the way to go.

If I move my User folder to the D: drive I may have problems as there is a User folder there along with the User folder on C: drive. That could lead to a complicated mess.
