Cloning 512 sector SATA SSD to 4096 sector NVME?

Tried Acronis, Aomei, EasUS, didn't work. Tried free HDClone download, didn't work. All failed with sector size errors, including backup/restore using Acronis. Any suggestions?
 
You can't clone from one sector size to another. You have to do the copying at the file level, not the block level. For a Windows system, this will make it hard to end up with a bootable copy.

I recommend reformatting the NVMe drive back to 512 byte sectors unless you really need the very tiny performance improvement that 4k sectors provide.
