Replacing Primary Drive and Migrating to Windows 11

[nheather]

Hi,

I have two planned tasks

• Install an M.2 and clone it from my current SSD to become the primary disk (both Samsung so use the Samsung Data Migration application)
• Migrate from Windows 10 to Windows 11

Is there any recommended order that I should do these in

• Install M.2 clone Windows 10 to it, then perform migration to Windows 11
• Migrate to Windows 11, install M.2, clone Windows 11 to it

I'm thinking it doesn't matter, the end result is the same, just wondering if there is anything that I have missed.

Clone it first then removed the old drive. Then upgrade to Win 11.
Any issues and you have your Win 10 install to revert to.

That makes good sense, I will do that.
