Usually you can't move a drive from one device to another smoothly. It wouldn't work the same way from a tablet to a desktop. Consider using services like Onedrive for backing up your files via your Microsoft account.

It mainly depends on the files involved. Photos, videos, etc., work fine without any problems just by copying and pasting them onto a USB stick. If there are records or documents made with certain software, they might need conversion to stay compatible on another PC if that app is no longer supported. Basically, almost anything can be copied, but software files require cloning for accurate duplication since hidden files and libraries often get missed during simple copy-paste. Cloning is straightforward if he’s concerned about losing data and wants to sell the old device. If it’s quite outdated, he could simply remove the drive and insert it into a budget external storage slot. The 512GB drive should connect via a standard SATA port and work perfectly in an affordable USB enclosure. For the 1TB version, just clone it—since it was originally two 512GB drives using Windows App Storage—and combine them into one 1TB drive. That model seems to be from around 2017?

It doesn't provide verification but lets files move between devices as long as they share the same network. An old router can be used for this purpose. Dukto should be set up on both devices, opened on both, and each should recognize the other. On the sending device, go to the third option, select the destination device name, and drag the files onto Dukto. Before beginning, on the target device, click the cog wheel in the bottom right, choose the folder where files should appear, and specify the path accordingly. You'll need to adjust the settings each time you want a different location.
