Upgrading my sons's laptop SSD

[hech54]

SSD to bigger SSD.
Best of the freebie softwares to clone the drive?
Is there anything I can to on my PC prior to the clone job to make sure I use ALL of the allocated space
or wait till after I install the cloned drive?
I am PARTITION STUPID!

Might wanna try Macrium Reflect Free.

Clonezilla can sector clone the whole drive, restoring to a bigger ssd is not a problem

Thanks....I'll Google that one.

Thats one of the freebies I've seen recommended.....heard it's a pain in the ass to install
AND I have very limited space to work with.

Thanks for the tips.

Went with Macrium. After a few USB Port missteps and the Macrium interface now missing the "Clone Partition Properties - Maximum Size" option shown in so many videos.....it worked perfectly despite my partition stupidness.
