Hello and Good Morning Everyone,
As an extension to a currently open post, I have a question regarding possible prep work which might be needed before carrying out a laptop hard disk drive cloning. The new SSD (Solid State Drive) has a storage capacity of 1 TB. Before I begin carrying out the cloning, will this drive need to be partitioned and formatted? Here is a link to this drive just in case more technical or detailed information is needed about this drive: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07L3D19MY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The source drive or loaded drive is 500 GB and the target drive or blank drive is 1 TB.
Thanks in advance for any attention and feedback given to this question.
