I'm looking to move my Windows 11 operating system to a new SSD. I have a 256GB drive that is almost full, and I just purchased a 1TB SSD. What are the best methods to transfer my OS? Should I clone the drive or perform a fresh installation? Are there any specific tools or steps I need to follow to ensure a smooth transition? Additionally, will moving the OS affect my digital license? TIA.

Using Cloning Software:
- Download and install a disk cloning tool (like Macrium Reflect Free or EaseUS Todo Backup)
- Connect your new drive
- Launch the cloning software
- Select your current Windows drive as source
- Select new drive as destination
- Start the cloning process
- Change boot order in BIOS to boot from new drive
- Verify Windows boots properly from new drive
