Hi all. I am going to upgrade my 2GB SSD PCIe3 to a 4TB Lexar NM790 PCIe4 (both Nvme) so I don't need to worry about game install storage for a while. I have a MSI x570 motherboard with 2x PCIE SSD slots and of course my current SSD is in the primary slot. I am please looking for advice on how the process works as I have only done it with regular HDD's before.
To upgrade the SSD do I either:
1) Put the new SSD in the secondary slot then clone it from Windows and THEN swap it over to the primary slot?
2) Immediately put the new SSD in the primary slot and swap the old SSD to the secondary slot (making the changes to boot order in BIOS) and THEN clone it from Windows?
3) When I clone the SSD will the 4TB only be seen as 2TB and if I change it using a HD tool will I then need to repair the MTBR or similar?
Any advice is appreciated to make the experience as smooth as possible.
Cheers.
