How can I transfer my current SSD to my new pc?
Windows 11 or Windows 10 does not come a native feature for disk cloning. You need a dedicated took for transferring the current ssd to new PC. Below is a good example for this:

What I see is a question about how do I "transfer my current SSD to my new PC? Before you even think about moving your SSD, make sure to back up all important data. This is just in case something goes sideways during the process. You might just want to copy important files to an external drive or use some cloud storage. Depending on your case, you’ll probably just need a screwdriver to remove the side panel. If you're dealing with a laptop, it may be a bit trickier. You might need to check online for specific instructions.
Once you’ve laid eyes on your SSD, gently disconnect the cables. If it's an M.2 SSD, just unscrew it and slide it out. Be careful with the connections, don't want to damage anything while you're at it.
Now, transfer current SSD to new PC. If it's a desktop, slot it in the same way; for M.2 drives, just find the M.2 slot and secure it. If you also have an SSD with SATA connections, plug it into the power and data cables. Turn on the new rig! If all goes smoothly, your new PC should recognize the SSD right away. You might need to go into the BIOS to make sure it’s set as a boot option if you're running an OS from it, but usually, it should work.
Depending on your setup, you might need to install a few drivers or update Windows to get everything running smoothly. Just fire up Windows Update and let it do its thing.
