Hi all,

I’ve just got a WD M2 500gb to replace my Samsung 850evo 500gb drive.

The 850 evo has Windows 10 and all my programs. For some reason when I look in Disk Management the ssd has five partitions although I only have one main one. Four are tiny recovery and other things, about 200mb each.
Can I just select the main large partition in Macrium Reflect and clone to the M2 or do I need the others too?

The other option is to install a fresh copy of Windows 10 64bit and have this purely for Steam gaming (Assetto Corsa with Steam Index) with the current ssd for my music production software etc. Could I then have a dual boot scenario? Is this possible to set up?

Thank you, mikeo. Will do it exactly as is then.
So the 850 evo drive will be removed completely after cloning. I take it I should unplug all other drives before cloning and plugging in again only after the M2 is booted up as the main drive?
