I have a 256Gb NVMe M.2 SSD in a Dell laptop via a specific PCIe interface. I am upgrading to a 512Gb NVMe M.2 SSD but only have one PCIe interface on the laptop. So I want a USB3/Thunderbolt cable so I can connect both to the laptop and image the drive from the 256Gb over to the 512Gb SSD. I no the new drive will not run at the PCIe speed (if its just USB3.0) but at least it will allow the migration. I can then just swap the SSD cards and expand the partition to have the new 512Gb SSD in the laptop.

If there a cable available to do this?
 
You could just use Reflect to image the current drive to an external, do the swap, the boot back into Reflect (USB or CD/DVD) and pop the image back onto the new drive. Then expand away :)
 
Yup, use Macrium Reflect to create an image of the drive. (Think of it as a big zip file). Save this onto a network share or a external USB drive.

Tell Macrium to create a usb or cd boot drive.

Remove your current drive and fit the new one.

Boot from the Macrium usb/cd that you've created, tell it to restore the Macrium image file to your new drive.

Simples :)
