Is It Possible to Copy and Paste Everything from My 64 SSD to the New 1TB SSD?

Larissa updated on Oct 29, 2024 to Data Backup Questions Answered | How-to Articles

I have an SSD enclosure where I install the new 1TB SSD, connect it to the USB-C port, and copy everything from the old to the new. Is it possible? Would I still have to reimage the OS?

No, you can't move everything from one SSD to another by manually copying and pasting because not all data saved on your SSD can be seen and copied. There may be some hidden files or some special files without copy permission. 

If you want to move everything from one disk to another without any loss, the best and most direct way is to clone SSD.

Cloning an SSD means creating an exact copy of the original disk, which will copy all data, including the operating system, boot sectors, system-related files, user profiles, images, videos, etc., on the new SSD. With the cloned SSD, you can boot your computer from it to enjoy the same OS as before as well as a faster boot speed.
