Upgrade SSD for a bigger one
Hi everyone, a few years ago I bought a Dell Inspiron 15 7566 gaming. Everything was running smoothly but at the moment it isn't.
Initially, it came with a HHD (1TB) and a SSD (128GB) the SSD has the OS and it stores all the programs, the problem right now is that i don't any space for more programs. I want to upgrade for a bigger SSD, 500 GB at least.
My concern is, how do I do for copying or transfer the OS and everything that is installed in it, from the old SSD (128GB) to the new one (500GB)?
I would really appreciate if you have a video or even a document where it explains the process and share it with me.
Thanks.

How to clone
How to back up and Restore
Full tutorial on how to use Macrium Reflect
In your case, you may want to create a backup image of your current SSD and Restore it to your new SSD
If you rather clone then you'll need an SSD to USB adapter or external Case. Assuming your SSD is M.2 NVME
link is to several options I can't recommend as the one I use is no longer available. I would read the reviews and choose that way. I would think any of them should work great but with everything coming from China you just don't know other than the reviews.
