Hey everyone! I currently have Windows 11 installed on a 128GB SATA drive, but I've just purchased a new 2TB SSD. I'm wondering what's the best way to move my Windows 11 to this new SSD. Should I just perform a fresh reinstall, or is there a more efficient method?

You could clone your system to the new SSD instead of doing a fresh install. Just did this myself recently, and it went smoothly.
The cleanest method is to perform a fresh installation using a USB drive and then transfer all your files afterwards. This will also help reduce clutter from your registry. However, if you’re looking for a quicker solution, you can connect both drives and clone your existing setup to the SSD.
Honestly, if you have both drives plugged into your PC at the same time, you may not even need the cloning device. There's software out there that can handle the cloning for free.
If you're able to, you might want to invest in an SSD clone device, which allows both SSDs to be connected and data copied over easily. Just check online for SSD cloners.
