I may be getting a new laptop with Win10 Home on it. The SSD is 256Gig. I may decide to replace it with a 512Gig SSD.
In doing this "right out of the box", I have a few questions
1. Should I make an image or a clone of the original drive?
2. Does it matter that the new drive will be larger in size in either case?
3. What's the best course of action in doing this process.
I've only made archival image backups, incremental etc, of HD, so my experience is a bit limited here.
Someone suggested that I made a backup of the original drive, and then just restore that backup onto the new drive. Not sure how any of this will occur when the new drive in the laptop would be blank. Clearly there's a gap in my knowledge on this.
Thanks in advance.
