I'm struggling to move my Windows 11 to a new NVMe drive. My SSD is outdated with just 100 GB of storage, and none of the methods I've tried worked. Please let me know if you can help. Thanks!

Get a previous release of Macrium Reflect, around version 8 or 7, and apply it to duplicate the old storage device onto the newer one. You can also add extra partitions if the new SSD is bigger.

Consider switching to a brand-new Windows installation on your fresh drive. After that, you can reinstall the previous drive and utilize it as a backup or secondary storage option.

New storage options often include software for copying previous drives. Usually, you'll need to download the program. However, Macrium stands out as a solid choice. Either approach works well depending on your needs.

Consider starting over with a clean setup. Use Windows Media Creation Tool to make a USB install media, disconnect the old disk, then install Windows on the new drive. It may be a bit more challenging, but a fresh installation is beneficial from time to time.
