I want to upgrade the m.2 ssd on my laptop. Could I put a 2.5 inch ssd in my laptop then transfer all the data from the current m.2 ssd to the new 2.5 inch ssd then swap the current m.2 ssd for the new one then transfer all the data from the 2.5 inch ssd to the new m.2? If I can do that then would everything work as it did before the m.2 swap?

Copying and cloning are not exactly the same thing. Once you have cloned the new drive then everything will work as before on the new drive. Here’s a video that may help
