I’ll look into that, and I appreciate it. Lenovo laptop, nice piece overall, but lenovo is bios unfriendly in general. Don’t want you removing their secret chinese spyware or something. Will check it out.
It’s a thinkpad 530, upgraded by computer king through amazon prior to delivery. Better drives, more memory, same warantee. $2k 5yrs ago, for business. Have docking station and 3 monitors via displayport. Overall good investment, but 5yo ssd is full and I don’t trust it much longer, though the diags say it’s ok...
If it’s a laptop (and I love Lenovo, writing on an s30 right now), you’ll have to use the drive dock to do the clone/image. No big deal. Put the new SSD in the drive dock, hook the drive dock to the laptop via USB and clone to that. Then switch the laptop SSD with the new SSD and you should be ready to go.
I’ve done this many times for folks and it’s not that hard. Remember that youtube is your friend.
