Upgrading Storage / restore step

I have a question about upgrading the storage on the new Mac Mini M4. I bought the base model. I have the 2T SSD card upgrade on the way from store.m4-ssd.com. I haven’t even turned on the mini yet. I am confident that I can switch out the SSD physically. But I am unclear about how to get the 2T SSD card to work. I don’t have an extra Mac lying around to use Apple Configurator. I do have a Surface Pro running windows. Can I restore the Mac mini from iTunes? The surface has 2 x USB-C® with USB 4.0 / Thunderbolt 4. So I would just have to download iTunes, run iTunes when I and connect the Mac mini to the surface pro, and turn on the mini in DFU mode. Do I have these steps right?

Or is the only way to do this is with another Mac?

The required method is using the Apple macOS tool Configurator tool from a second Mac connected via a USB-C Thunderbolt compliant cable. Time to find a friend with a M series Mac who can help you out.

As an alternative, if you have a Linux box lying around you can build the idevicerestore project. I used the same SSD from m4-ssd.com and used the idevicerestore project to flash the drive. Some distros have the binary present but I found the the version distributed did not detect the newer M4 models. After building from source the M4 was recognized and I was able to flash.

Sorry they won’t work here. Apple uses a serialization strategy which requires access to multiple chips within the system, similar to how the iPhone is protected.
