Aurora R10, upgrading boot drive, cloning
Currently I have an r10 Ryzen edition with 256G nvme SSD(boot)+2T HDD. I’m planning on upgrading to a larger nvme boot drive using cloning tools like EaseUS. Are there any potential problems with this? I’ve seen others have problems with migrating from SATA to nvme or HDD to nvme, is nvme to nvme upgrade safer? Worse case (if the cloned drive didn’t work) I can just pop the original drive back in right? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Since the current NVMe drive is the boot drive, make sure the Easus image is stored on the secondary drive, not the NVMe drive.
Make sure you have Windows 10 recovery media available: Reset or reinstall Windows 10 on your Dell computer | Dell US
When you first insert the new drive, you will reinstall Windows from scratch.
Then reinstall Easus when installation is complete.
After Windows and Easus are reinstalled, you will load the Easus recovery image from the secondary drive.
After the restore and a reboot, your PC should be back to normal.

Not familiar with Easus, but most disk imaging software allows you to create a bootable USB for restoring images.
If it does, you will not need to install windows 10 on the new drive, followed by installing Easus, followed by installing the disk image.
Just make sure you have the disk image on the SSD/HDD you will keep and have the bootable USB ready if the software supports it.
