New SSD for Razer Blade 15

[SupaTech]

Hi all

 

Because I live in New Zealand and Razer laptops aren't available in NZ, I had to go for a 256 gb Razer Blade 15 and its completely maxed and I still have games that I want to download. So, I am getting a new SSD (Samsung 970 Pro 512 gb) but I don't know how easily I will be able to transfer all of the files and whether I will need to reinstall Windows 10. 

 

Thanks in advance.

The Razer Blade only comes with 1 storage drive right?

that means if you swap it out your OS is gone too.

 

if you have a Microsoft account linked to your blade the Windows Key is attached to your account so reinstalling Windows will not need a new key.

when you have installed you OS anew, you can use a M.2 To USB converter to copy your files later as you cannot connect both at the same time unless the blade has a 2nd connector.

 

Then you can just add the second disk, install windows on that one ( windows cannot simply be copied while its running of course).

Or use 3rd party bootable software like Acronis to copy your windows over.
