As mentioned, I need to upgrade to a new SSD because the existing one is only 256 GB and I’m running low on space, even though I keep most of my data on the old HDD. Can you help me find a way to directly transfer everything from the old SSD to the new one? Every response would be greatly appreciated!

It seems your board has an M.2 port, which should work. For the SN750 model, use a Gen3 controller instead of Gen4. The transfer is possible, but if you already have Windows installed, skip it and install it on the new SSD. I don’t know what’s in your 256GB drive, but you can re-download games later. If needed, manually copy files to your HDD before reinstalling Windows. Good luck!

Yes, you can install a Gen 4 drive similar to the SN850 in a Gen 3 slot. AMD doesn<|pad|>'s allow this flexibility, unlike Intel which restricts it. For copying, there are various tools available online.
