I bought a new M.2 SSD, and I want to install it as my main drive for OS (desktop PC). I know how to clone HDD to SSD, but I really have no idea about cloning HDD to M.2 SSD. Can I clone HDD to M.2 SSD? If yes, how can I do it?

The answer is YES! You can clone HDD to M.2 SSD effortlessly with some professional cloning software, as Windows does not provide cloning functionality. Here we highly recommend EaseUS Disk Copy.
EaseUS Disk Copy is one of the best disk cloning software on the market. It helps you clone HDD to M.S SSD or NVMe M.2 SSD with a few simple clicks. In addition, this program provides lots of other advanced and flexible features, including but not limited to cloning hard drives with bad sectors, creating a local backup of hard drives, and more.
Below are the step-by-step guide to cloning HDD to M.2 SSD:
Step 1. Install M.2 SSD on your computer, then make sure that Windows can detect it.
Step 2. Download, install, and launch EaseUS Disk Copy on your computer.
Step 3. Choose "Disk Mode" and choose the disk as the source disk, then click Next.
Step 4. Select the other disk (M.2 SSD) as the destination disk, and hit OK.
Step 5. (Optional) you can check and manage the disk layout of the M.2 SSD by selecting Autofit the disk, Copy as the source, or Edit disk layout.
Step 6. Click Proceed to execute the task officially.
That's the detailed tutorial about how to clone HDD to M.2 SSD.
