I have a 250GB SSD boot drive and a 1TB SSD, both of which are NVME. I’m buying another 2TB NVME and I don’t know how clone drives so I’m planning to ask the store to clone the contents of the 1TB drive to the 2TB drive, then the 250GB drive to the 1TB SSD and use it as the new boot drive. I’ll use the 250GB SSD as an external drive. Since I’m replacing the drives, I’m not sure if cloning the drives will also clone the drive letters. If it doesn’t, do I need to bring my PC to the store to change them, or can I just remove the drives and bring them to the store? Once the cloning process is done, can I take them home and expect them to work without further configuration?"

      Ummm… as I said, everything up until Windows 7 won’t boot, not unless is WinPE based. If it’s a regular install, no, it won’t. Windows 8 and above, yes, it will boot… and it won’t throw errors. Will everything regarding 3rd party software work? No. Can it be fixed? No, no source available. Then what’s the point of booting from anything other than C? IDK, you tell me 😂.
