How to Clone Windows 11 to SSD free with larger storage space?
Cloning Windows OS to new SSD without data loss is a very challenging task. Unfortunately, there is no official feature available on Windows 11 for doing this. I have spent three ways to finally find out a working way to do this. If you want to do this safely and comfortably, please follow the step in this guide:

P.S. It only took me one hour to fully complete the migration (1TB data to new SSD), which is quite impressive!
Not all cloning software is created equal. I've used various tools, and honestly, some just do a better job than others. Microsoft's built-in Windows Backup and Restore can handle basic backups, but for cloning. Professional tools generally come with more features to help smooth the process.
Before you start cloning windows 11 to SSD, make sure your SSD is in good shape. If the drive has issues, cloning might just amplify them, leading to a headache down the line.
