2018 Razer Blade 15 "Base Model" Possible Upgrades

Is there no way to properly clone the original to a new larger disk? It seems crazy to have to reinstall Windows and all of the post build software.

What about the Razer software and Restore partition? You will lose all of that. You can re-download all the software I suppose from Razer but it will take much longer than 20 minutes. It becomes moot if I can simply image the one M.2 to another M.2. See my point? Thanks, Paul

Cloning 512GB m.2 original drive in new Blade 15 (mid 2019) Advanced

bimmerboiHey Paul, Have you managed to solve your problem? I am in a similar situation with my Mid 2019 RB15. I have the RTX 2080 Max Q version. I bought the same 2TB Addlink from Amazon, but use a Plugable NVME enclosure. I am able to successfully clone the drive using Macrium, AOMEI and Arconis. But the cloned drive just wont boot to Windows. Haven't found a solution to this yet.. Hi there. I wound up just putting the drive in and installing Windows 10 fresh from the USB drive method. The digital license carried over perfectly without issue. Most drivers installed automatically but I updated the NVidia drivers manually and ran through all the updates through 1903 (May 2019). I then just added the 3 Razer specific apps (Synapse, Chroma and Cortex)) to get it back to factory. Thing works perfectly now and is even faster than the original. The speed of the Addlink is really incredible. Hope this helps.

You're going the same route I went down until I just tried the install fresh based on another thread I posted. It has to be something to do with the USB -to- M.2 interface; that's as close as I came to an answer. Good luck with the new Razer. My son loves it. Did you buy an extended warranty? Thats my current dilemma because I bought it from Razer on Amazon I could not buy there in-house warranty after the fact.

I am going to keep it for a few months as is and, if not needed to restore to the original I will use it in another laptop. The original Razer install is literally the Win10 license (which you have regardless of what drive is in there as it is tied to the system), the NVidia drivers and the 3 Razer downloads I mentioned above. Everything else is standard from Win10 install so not worth keeping it for that. This is what I didnt understand at first either but now it makes sense.
