Support Assist found some errors on my 2TB M.2 NVMe SSD and let me request a replacement with Alienware/Dell. Just read that closer. Not sure I would want to take a copy of Windows (with possible errors and/or corrupt files) and use that for the basis or foundation of my supposedly repaired system (and keep building upon it, going forward). Personally, I would Nuke-and-Pave (erase and start fresh) with a clean-install of perfect (un-compromised) Windows . However, other people like "easy" , and select tech-procedures on that metric, so you are not alone if you choose not to. That is probably why it was already partitioned. They intended you to install it and start fresh.          
Hello  About a month ago Support Assist found some errors on my 2TB M.2 NVMe SSD and let me request a replacement with Alienware/Dell. I just received the replacement drive and it looks to already be partitioned. I was planning on cloning my old drive so I wouldn't need to reinstall anything and just install the new drive.  What I want to know is do I need to clone my old drive to the new one or is their a way of making a backup that could be for lack of a better term imported by the new drives OS so I wouldn't need to clone?  Any and all help would be appreciated.  Thanks.
