In terms of your other questions, EFS and VeraCrypt are irrelevant in cloning operations, so no worries there.

If you don't do this, then after the clone completes, it will not be possible to resize any partition on the destination disk that had a partition after it you'd only be able to resize the last partition on the disk into the block of free space there. After you drag down a partition that you wish to resize, before dragging down anything else, select that partition in the Destination section and click 'Cloned partition properties' to change the size as desired. Place your Recovery partition immediately after the C drive if it isn't there already, even if you have a separate D drive after it - so rather than working directly left to right on dragging source partitions down, you would skip dragging the Recovery partition down to the destination until you'd dragged the C partition down (and resized it if desired see note below) and then drag your Recovery partition down next to C on the destination. Then since you want to resize multiple partitions, instead of clicking the 'Copy selected partitions' link, drag each partition from the source down to the destination, working left to right in general, but keeping in mind the following: 1. Basically, when you set up the clone, choose your current SSD as your source and then choose your new SSD as the destination. You can click all the way through the clone wizard to the activity summary page without actually running it, fyi. What I'm about to explain will probably make more sense when you actually have the new SSD attached and can tinker with the wizard. Also, since you're on Windows 10, you may want to relocate your Recovery partition since that will avoid Windows creating a new one in its preferred location later and leaving your current one there as dead weight afterward. Hey again Randy, Actually if you intend to resize two different partitions after the clone, you'll want to do that as part of the Reflect operation, not afterward.

Is there any reason to boot as an admin before doing the clone? Thanks in advance. When Reflect starts, it asks me for an admin pw and then runs normally. One final question that does involve Reflect: I normally boot as a User. Does this seem likely to get me up and running or am I missing some vital step? Assuming the above works, I will then run disk manager to enlarge both C: and D: partitions, though that is not a Reflect question. Next I will remove the old drive from the laptop and replace it with the new drive containing the clone. Then run Reflect to clone my existing drive to the new drive. What I plan to do is attach the new drive via a USB cable.

I also have (not inside the EFS tree) a file that is VeraCrypted. I have one folder tree on D: that is EFS encrypted.

My current drive is formatted with C: and D: partitions, plus two very small ones called Recovery and System, as I see in Reflect. I've tentatively picked out a Samsung 850 EVO. I'd like to replace it with a 1 TB drive in the same form factor. My laptop came with a 500 gb SSD drive installed. I'd like some feedback on whether I understand the process correctly. Before posting, I have read a bunch of other threads.
