How to clone an M2 SSD

Clone an M.2 SSD to a larger M.2 SSD with EaseUS disk cloning software

The system files, installed applications, and personal data can easily eat up your M.2 SSD space and slow down your PC, especially when you are using an M.2 SSD with small storage capacity. When the low disk space appears, you need to clone an M.2 SSD to a larger M.2 SSD to upgrade the disk for better performance.

1. Install the M.2 SSD

Before you install the SSD drive though, first make sure that the SSD drive you bought is compatible with your laptop motherboard.

On a laptop

install m.2 ssd in a laptop

  • Open M.2 slot
  • Slide the M.2 SSD drive inside slot
  • Screw the SSD drive in
  • Finalize and cover

On a desktop computer

install m.2 ssd in a desktop

  • On the motherboard, look for an M.2 connector, usually labeled with “PCIe”.
  • Carefully insert the M.2 SSD into its slot and then secure the M.2 SSD using the mounting screw.
2. Clone via EaseUS Todo Backup

Make sure that both the SSDs are recognized by your computer. Download and install the essential disk cloning software, or you may treat it as an M.2 SSD to M.2 SSD duplicator

To clone one M.2 SSD to another larger M.2 SSD, follow these steps:

Step 1. Launch EaseUS SSD cloning software and choose “Clone” to start cloning one SSD to the other larger SSD.​

choose clone to clone ssd to larger ssd

Step 2. Choose the smaller SSD as the source disk and click “Next”.

Step 3. Choose the larger SSD as the destination disk. Here, we highly suggest you tick the option “Optimize for SSD” within “Advanced options” in the bottom left corner. Click “OK” and then click “Next”.

Step 4. If nothing’s wrong on the disk layout, click “Proceed”. It won’t take long to clone a smaller SSD to a larger SSD.​

3. Boot from the cloned M.2 SSD

At last, if you cloned the operating system to the new SSD and wish to boot Windows from it, try to disconnect the old SSD from your computer.

Share Play on PlayStation 4 and how it works

What is Share Play?


You can use Share Play to play with a friend as if you were in the same room. It allows you to invite a visitor to view your screen for up to 60 minutes a session. If you are stuck in a game or want the visitor to try a game, Share Play allows you to hand over your controller to a visitor so they can play instead. You can also invite your visitor to play a local multiplayer session over the internet even if the game does not support online multiplayer. The visitor does not need to own the game to use Share Play.

 

What is the minimum connection speed needed for Share Play?

To get the best experience from Share Play, both you and your friend will need a high speed internet connection. The conditions surrounding the home network of each player may also impact internet connectivity. As a guide a minimum connection speed of at least a 2Mbps is recommended. To check your upload speed, please check with your network service provider.

How do I hand over my controller?


Simply press the SHARE button at any time, ‘Go to Party for Share Play’ and select the ‘Give Controller to Visitor’ option. On the next Screen you can chose to ‘Allow the Visitor to Play as You’. This hands over the controller and the visitor can now play the game while you watch. You can take back control at any time by pressing the SHARE button, accessing the Share Play menu and selecting ‘Take Back Controller’

How do I start a local multiplayer session via Share Play?


Access the Share menu by pressing the SHARE button and select “Go to  Party for Share Play”. Choose ‘Give Controller to Visitor’ and select ‘Play a Game Together’. Now an additional controller has been added to the game. You can play a game together or against each other. Depending on the title you might need to choose the controls in the games menu just as you were playing next to each other with two controllers.

What are Share Play’s Limitations?

  • The host and visitor have to be PlayStation Network friends.
  • The host and visitor have to be online.
  • The number of players who can use Share Play is 2.
  • Maximum length of one Share Play session is 60 minutes. When the session ends, you can restart Share Play immediately.
  • Only the host earns trophies.
  • Game saves will be saved only on the host’s PS4.

Windows defender Cloud improvement

Windows Defender is the default antimalware security software that comes built into Windows 10. It protects your system in real-time against all sorts of security threats such as viruses, worms, rootkits, spyware, and even ransomware.

Windows Defender continues to improve with each major update of Windows 10.

While Windows Defender does a pretty good job with the default settings, nothing is 100 percent effective, and it doesn’t hurt to amp it up when it comes to changing cloud-level protections. Selecting a higher level of protection makes Windows Defender more proactive in scanning and detecting suspicious files.

Join Microsoft MAPS via Group Policy

These initial steps require using Group Policy which isn’t available in the Home versions of Windows 10. Use the Windows Key + R to bring up the Run dialog and type: gpedit.msc and hit Enter or click OK.

gpedit

Next, navigate to the following location:

Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Defender Antivirus > MAPS

Double-click Join Microsoft MAPS located in the right-panel.

2 Join MAPS

Select Enabled and under Options select Advanced MAPS from the drop-down and click OK.

Advanced MAPS

Increase the Cloud Protection Level

Now that you have enrolled your Windows 10 device in the MAPS program you can change the cloud protection level of Windows Defender. Continuing in Group Policy head to the following path:

Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Defender Antivirus > MpEngine

Then double-click Select cloud protection level in the right panel.

cloud-protection-level

Select Enabled and under the Options section select High blocking level from the drop-down menu and click OK to close out of Group Policy.
