I currently have Windows 10 but my C Drive is losing space. I was wandering if I were to get a bigger storage device, could I just copy my C Drive to the new SSD? :)

You totally can. You can use software, such as clonezilla to make a copy of your drive.

Is it simple to use?

You can, but you'll have to get the total ammount of data on your C drive less than the capacity of the SSD.

I was thinking of getting a 500GB SSD or trying to find a M.2 Drive :)

Sounds good, just remember an NVME SSD will have bad cost-performance over a SATA SSD if all you do is game.

True but I'd only be using it for my Windows drive :)

I remember there was a video from tech city, that tested if NVME SSDs are actually faster at loading windows and it was like a second slower or something.

It's this video
