If you are on android, there is an app called "SMS Backup & Restore" that you can use. It will allow you to save your text messages on your PC and then you can just export the text messages in xml format. Here is the link I am referencing:https://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/how-to-save-text-messages/

Honestly, I am stumped a bit by your issue as well. I have heard of this happening to some other people, though and here is what I have seen that works: you could try disabling fast startup if you are using windows 10. Second, in one case I have read online, the individual ended up having to replace a displayport cable since one of the pins were bent and somehow affecting his NVMe. If these options fail, I would honestly see if you can return your drive for a replacement, even though you stated it is not likely to be an NVMe issue (which I agree with) . I will look into this a bit more and see if anything else comes up. 

At this point, I would petition Amazon to refund your money, if you have not done this already. I have never heard of this happening to Crucial MX500 drive, but usually if a SATA SSD goes above 60C, there is cause for concern. 

I honestly do not think there is a simple way to just clone windows without moving any of your files. At this point, I would just do the clean install of windows on your new ssd, and for any games you install on your ssd, drag the old game save files from your sshd to your game directory on your ssd. Also, @Hackentosher I really liked your previous response. Could not have said it any better. 

Well, you answered my question. I will not get a heatsink. I honestly did not think about that. Thank you so much for looking into this. I really appreciate it.
