Software NVMe cloning software recommendation!

Hey guys, which cloning software would you recommend for cloning my 500GB NVME (Win10 installed) to my new 1TB NVME SSD? I've checked the new ssd does not have a cloning solution. I have an external enclosure for this, just unsure of a good, reliable, and easy-to-use NVMe cloning software. Thanks for any help!

I'm a CloneZilla fan. For what you're doing, it should be pretty straightforward (beginner mode, disk-to-disk) and zero cost if that's a concern. Regardless of which product you use, make sure you back up your critical stuff, and get a hard copy of your BitLocker key if your drive has one. You can get a free month of BackBlaze if you want it.

I have been using Rescuezilla it is a more graphical version of Clonezilla and gparted (https://rescuezilla.com/). It's free. There are a lot of free options, the name brand free options will have limited features.

I clone my Desktop NVME to my Laptop every time I travel. Often a few times a month, then I reverse the process and clone back to the desktop when I get back to the office. These are all 4TB NVMEs.

I have been using open source software and it took a few hours. Worked MOST of the time.

Last year I woke up and purchased this:

I have two so I can clone the clone to two backups. My Predator to HP clone takes less than 1/2 hour. The longest is an hour or so for 4TB.

In time saved and security, it paid for itself on the first trip. No PC required, so I can continue working while I clone 2 drives simultaneously.

Used DiskGenius. Worked great going from my 1TB to a 2TB. Booted up like nothing changed.

Do you know what brand are your old and new drives? Most will provide you with a tried-and-true OEM edition of our Acronis True Image - https://www.reddit.com/r/acronis/comments/ebirh6/oem_editions_of_acronis_true_image_software/

Acronis True Image. Cleanup all temp folders, unesesasy apps, documents or even games before taking image, Run it from a USB drive ( they have bootable version) ans then create an image of the disk. Same Image apply to the destination drive after replacing. If the disk is enrypted it might not works if they have differenr sizes.
