So I currently have a SATA SSD (C:/) and an HDD (D:/). I'm soon gonna buy an NVMe SSD and insert it into my system, but I don't plan on taking out my SATA SSD. I'd like to make the NVMe drive my C:/, while still keeping all the data I have on my SATA SSD. How can I go about this?

Your best bet, for stability and simplicity reasons, is to just reinstall windows on the NVMe. Then, keep all your old data on the SATA drive and just copy over what you need.

#

If your windows install is linked to your microsoft account, you can transfer the activation without issue

Use ninite.com to install all your common apps in one go, makes the reinstall easier. But yep, I also recommend a reinstall on the NVME rather than trying to clone the old SSD.
