Boot Disk Clone
Windows 10
I have two SSD's on the motherboard identical 500gb. One is M2.1 and the other is M2.2
Want to clone the Boot drive M2.1 > the other M2.2.
When I setup and select M2.1 next page is destination and the M2.2 is grayed out?
I have used Casper for years, but have an issue with it also being unable to copy.
M2.2 as well as M2.1 are recognized in the BIOS and I have in the past booted the Casper clone M2.2.
I have changed a few BIOS areas to allow to upgrade to Windows 11....
1. Secure Boot > Secure boot enabled and OS type > Windows UEFI mode;
2. CSM > Launch CSM > enabled (for Win 11 this needs to be disabled but I want the clone backup before proceeding.
Boot Control > UEFI and Legacy OPROM...for Win 11 needs to be only UEFI.
I am able to copy a file from another SSD to this M2.2 SSD!
Did a full format...same
Not sure what to do to allow for the Clone?

Had a backup and moved back to the prior version which now allows the clone drive to be copied to...whew!
