'm one scared old PC user. Been around and using computers before HD's and modems. Things have changed and I am at a loss understanding all the new hardware terms and software uses.
Using Win 10 64bit.
At this time I would like to have a complete copy of my operating system and all that it has on the drive. Just so I have a copy sitting in my desk drawer incase my drive fails.
My laptop has a 500g drive MVMe M.2 in it and this is the first time i have opened a laptop to see inside. What I need to know is if I clone my MVMe M.2 drive with another MVMe M.2 drive of the same size using Acronis. Does the cloning process need any extra input during cloning from me? For example do I need to adjust any bios settings. I afraid to come back to a none functioning laptop after cloning.
I watched this youtube video and he mentioned I must enter the bios. Not sure if I need too because I only have one slot for my drive and after replacement I believe it should boot normally. Am I correct?
Thanks for any advice
John
