SSD upgrade for Surface Laptop 4?

[Sumanji]

Hi All,

I have a Surface Laptop 4 (13.5" with the Core i7) and I am looking to upgrade the SSD, which is currently a 512GB PCI-E gen 3 drive.

I bought a WD Black SN770M 2TB (gen 4), assuming it would be easy to clone a replace the existing drive. However it seems like there are some horror stories with thin and light laptops using 10th/11th gen Intel processors and their ability to support gen 4 drives, likely due to varying power demands. Examples:

Wondering if anyone has tried doing this, and whether it has worked successfully?

Cheers,

Su

There was a few people having success on reddit. They had to change some of the power settings before cloning it if I remember correctly, I will try and find the info again.
