So I have Windows 10 installed to an 250gb NVME m.2 SSD, I have a spare 1TB that I've acquired since my initial build and my main drive is almost full and causing performance issues. I was wondering if there's any way to move all my files to the new drive so I don't have to reinstall and chase all my current files? Thanks!

drag and drop. Softwares need to be re installed tho, but their data do not.

I Use my knowledge as business owner and self taught technician aswell as an AI to help people. AI might be controversial but it actually works pretty well 90% of the time.

I think there is a way, but i do not know it, wait for some other that know better.

The drive with the OS should be not more than 500GB (mine is 256GB cause i think it's even better).

And only the essential programs should be install on it, the more free space the better.

There is no way i would install a game in my OS drive!
