Move OS to new Drive

Can someone here please tell me either:

A) how to move my OS to another drive

B) Direct me with good instructions

C) pass this on @Linus and @LinusTechTips to get them to do a video about it.

 

Because what I have found is confusing

Have you considered "cloning" the drive?

I think thats what they were asking, how they could clone the drive.

This video is all that you will need.

This is exactly what I was after. Thank you so much. When I get my new SSD NVME I will do just this. Thank you so much
