I'm buying a brand new Victus laptop and increasing the memory from 512GB to 1TB. Because it only has one memory slot, I need to transfer the operating system to the new disk. I'm very new to this, so I need a video or something to walk me through it step by step because I don't want to pay $80 to have it done.

Moving your Windows 11 operating system to a new M.2 SSD will significantly increase your laptop's speed and performance, delivering a seamless user experience.
