Acquired a 970 EVO PLUS NVME M.2 SSD and duplicated my entire (CSmile partition which totals about 413GB including Windows 10 from my previous Samsung drive. I utilized their own data migration tool instead of Samsung Magian. Currently, the copies are perfect, but when attempting to boot from the new 970 EVO M2 I encounter this issue: Spoiler

It's suggested to use Macrium Reflect Free for cloning purposes. https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details...ition.html

They seemed very similar, each with four partitions. I’ll attempt to recreate them using the software you suggested and will update you on the results.

No, it is not better than Clonzilla.

It’s simpler, and you can utilize the drive or operating system during the process of cloning.

I’m not sure I manage several servers and have a lease that uses a bootable USB. I installed ClonZilla and found it straightforward, and I haven’t run into any issues after cloning over 50 drives.

It seems Macrium Reflect offers the benefit of running the operating system on the cloned drive, whereas Clonezilla requires a separate setup. Both approaches have their merits.

Thanks a lot everyone! I'm about to share my experience and let you know what happened. I tried the process two times with Samsung's own tools, but it didn't work out. Probably not the best option.
