XPS 8940, replace SSD boot disk
I am getting SMART error warnings on my XPS8940 showing that the SSD drive (which contains my c: drive and boot partition) is about to fail. I have a replacement SSD drive I can install and I have a backup of the data on the drive but I'm not sure of how I can restore it to the new disk once I have replaced the drive.
Can someone point me to step-by-step instructions? I assume I'm going to create some boot disk containing the Windows 11 setup files, boot from it and then use that to restore the backup but I'm not 100% sure of the exact steps and would appreciate some guidance so I don't lose all my setup.
thank you in advance
