+Bad NVME drive - very slow access to drive and the user experience much degraded. Cloned the drive to WD SSD that was mounted internally. Used the free version of Acronis that was downloaded from WD. Acronis did clone the NVME successfully. Automatically expanded the partition from 500 GB to 1 TB.
