>Cloning an SSD's data is something we should stop expecting to be straightforward in a world with self-encrypting drives. Restoring from backup is the right approach. I don't know why you're being downvoted: didn't we stop being able to clone a drive with Windows on it about 20 years ago unless perhaps Windows was installed in a non-standard way? More precisely you can clone a drive with Windows on it of course, but you will not be unable to boot the clone.
