TIB M.2 Drive

In the past with Acronis 2013 I did backups of the computer's primary drives.
I have a new computer. HP Z2 G5 Workstation. The Z2 came with a 500 GB M.2 solid state drive.
It is too small for Adobe work. I need to replace the M.2 500GB with a M.2 2TB.
I need advise on how best to do TIB or a Clone? I think I would need to insert the M.2 2TB into the second M.2 to do this task. Let me know how best to accomplish this task!
Thanks!

Chuck, if your machine has 2 M.2 slots, but only one is being used for the 500GB drive, why replace it? Why not just add the second drive as a D: drive and move all your data there. The process is very easy and you won't have to copy over the system drive.

Steve, think Chuck is using ATI 2013 rather than ATI 2018. I doubt that the ATI 2013 recovery media would support M.2 drives. I do not recall any reports one way or the other. The HP Z2 G5 ships with Windows 10 Pro, and ATI 2013 predates Windows 10 by a few years, not sure how serious a problem that is.

Ian, agree that ATI 2013 won't be very helpful with M.2 drives! Have been assuming that Chuck either will have a later version given his post in this ACPHO forum, or will be using an OEM version of ATI 2021 that comes with the new M.2 drive?
Bruno, also agree that the 500GB drive should be fine for OS and apps and the 2TB one used for all data would be a simple solution that is easy to implement.

Steve, I has not considered the possibility of using an OEM version of ATI/ACPHO that comes with the new M.2 drive. Most new drives come with some sort of OEM imaging software - most common seems to be ATI/ACPHO.
