How do I transfer the os and files from a sata m.2 to a nvme?

[Maybeyes1]

I wanted to buy on of those nvme to usb adaptors, but I'm not sure. And if i transfer the os and files will it also transfer the drivers?

Which OS? I mean, is it a dual boot setup? Windows? Linux?

If its Linux. They should be OS transfer tools. If it's windows, you will have to clone that drive.

What size are the drives?

Macrium reflect free.

Let it clone your old drive to the NVMe.

What is your end goal, putting the NVME drive in your computer? You need a PCIe NVME M key slot if you want to use a NVME SSD, does your computer have one? As for cloning you can use Macrium reflect as @DinohScene mentioned or you can use like Acronis True Image if you got one.

So let me get this straight, I have a laptop with a sata m.2 connector and I want to transfer to a another laptop with an nvme. The old laptop only has ONE sata m.2 connector, but no nvme. But the new one has one. So as I said should I buy an adaptor? And I will later clone the disk with Macrium Reflect or Acronis True image but I just wanna know.

You can't put the drive from one laptop into laptop computer unless they are the same model. If you just want the data just copy the data off of it.

He can't put M.2 SATA SSD into a NVMe Slot.

I could use my external hdd to copy over the files from the sata m.2 and then I can use some software to move all those files to the nvme
