Clone OS drive - Does Intel Data Migration work with 800p NVME SSD?

[TBui7]

Hello, I just purchased the 58gb 800p NVME Optane module that I am using just as a drive. I have it mounted as E: in my system. I want to clone my current OS and its data from the existing SSD to the new 800p NVME drive. The FAQ of the Intel Data Migration application says that it does not support NVME? I dont why understand why the application wouldnt just recognize the 800p NVME as another drive. Why does it matter if its SATA or NVME? Can someone please confirm? If NVME is indeed not supported, can I please get a recommendation for software that I can use to migrate my OS to the Optane?

a few days ago, i tried a third party tool called AOMEI Backupper, which can https://www.ubackup.com/windows-10/clone-windows-10-to-nvme-4348i.html clone SSD to nvme SSD successfully and boot from my computer. if you do not find any useful software, you can try this software.

Thank you so much for the recommendation. Which version of Backupper did you use? I see 4 different versions on their site:

Free, Professional, Server, Technician.
