I built a new system with Asus Z370-E, i7-8770k and Crucial 2666 DDR4, no video card.
The primary drive is a Samsung 960 Pro NVME in an Aquacomputer Kryo M.2 Evo PCIe 3.0 x 4 adapter.
This system works well, BUT:
I have tried three programs to clone the 960 to an SSD:
AOMEI -- will not clone
EaseUS Todo -- clones, but will not boot on SSD clone
Samsung Migration SW -- clones to a Samsung SSD but will not boot on clone.
I have tried Intel and Samsung SSDs as the target for the clone.
My backup method (in WIndows 7 and earlier versions) is cloning to a separate drive, booting
on the clone to verify it works, then returning to using the original primary drive
What procedure/software is necessary to clone the Samsung 960 NVME to a SSD that can boot?
