    Kinda new here and I have a Alienware 13 R3 on the way with 8gb ram, the Oled display and the 180gb sata III ssd. I have a samsung 960 Evo 500gb that I haven't used yet and would like to replace the 180gb that's included. What are the recommended steps to do this? Also do I just stick it into the second m2 slot and then clone it? Never done a disk replacement/migration before so just want to be doubly sure about everything.

    Any and all help appreciated.

    Thanks for pointing that one out. I searched for the 13 specifically (probably why it never popped up). Will post questions there.
