    Good evening folks..

    I've just bought an m2 ssd as I've just become aware of them and one will fit in my motherboard..

    Should be a good bit faster, it's used for audio mainly..

    Will I be able to just drop it in and clone the C drive that's there at the minute yeah?..
    I'm hoping it won't be too much of a pain..

    Thanks..

    Providing you have right tools to clone, should be just few clicks, if its SSD to m.2 it should be fast too.

    Download Arconis and use the clone feature on that. Done this very thing just yesterday. Nice upgrade speed wise especially if coming from a spinning drive.

    I prefer Macrium Reflect

    a good guide is here on how to clone.

    Yes you can clone it over. I did it and it worked fine. But I didn't have am M2 slot on my motherboard, i used a M2 to PCIE adapter card. Works fine.
