Hey everyone,
So, I'll give you some background.
I have a fairly old 2tb external drive that I want to upgrade to 4tb because it's full and I thought it would be better to expand the drive rather than buy a replacement and then a new drive as I already have a few drives.
However, I'm not sure of the best way to go about it. I know there's often issues cloning mbr to gpt because obviously I want full access to the 4tbs of the drive.
I was also wondering if I should just do a straight copy and then change the drive letter as the drive has a bunch of applications on it too, not just files.
I would appreciate any advice helping me figure out the best way to go and also to keep my data safe.
Thanks!
