How to deep copy an ssd to another ssd?(including os)

[myechoi]

Hi computer noob here, I just bought an 500GB samsung evo 970 ssd and since this is much faster then the ssd I bought 4 years ago I want to copy my old ssd to my new one(include the OS and drivers) and boot from there. How can I achieve this?

 

Thank you!

might need to use a dongle for the 970 and clone from the old ssd you have

Macrium Reflect Free is also a simple, easy to use free option

Another vote for Macrium Reflect Free. Use the cloning option.

you can use the following open source and well proven CloneZilla:

you can create a boot usb/ cd and then use that to make a perfect copy of a drive onto another, or even a file.

Macrium Reflect Free is the most reliable backup and image software. AOMEI Freebackupper is another good backup, but it doesn't have much features compare to Macrium Reflect.
