1.
What does cloning do?
Copies the old drive setup to another drive for migration.
Duplicates the storage layout, not the physical performance limits of the old drive.
Copies partitions and boot data, but still needs validation afterward.
Moves the old installation to a new drive without proving the source is healthy.
2.
What should happen before replacing a drive with important files?
Check drive health and backup status before starting a stressful clone.
Install the replacement drive while keeping the original data path reversible.
Confirm the replacement interface and migration path before removing the source.
Back up or otherwise protect important data before changing the source drive.
3.
Why keep the old drive untouched at first?
It gives you another recovery point if the clone or install is incomplete.
It lets you compare the old and new boot paths before erasing anything.
It preserves a fallback while the new setup and data are verified.
It keeps the migration reversible until files, apps, and boot behavior are checked.
