Windows 10: Can I switch m.2 slots for the SSD Windows boots from?

Hello. I have a MSI b450 pro carbon max WiFi motherboard. I have windows on my 1st m.2 slot. I want to add another SSD but I want to put my new SSD in slot 1 and my old one is slot two.

Can I do this?

I tried switch my original SSD to slot two the other day but I couldn’t get it to boot from it. I kept getting the windows repair screen. Maybe I just need to mess the bios settings a little more.

The reason is my original SSD came with a heat sync and my new one did not. The MSI motherboard comes with a heat sync but it only fits in slot one. So it make since time switch the slot so they both have heat syncs.

Thank you

How to properly swap out an M.2 SSD for a larger size replacement

I have an ASRock X399 Taichi, 128GB ram running Windows 10 Professional. This motherboard has 3 M.2 slots. I currently have a 960GB in M.2 slot 1 and it is my O/S drive. I another 960 GB in slot 2. It is my intention to replace the slot 1 M.2 with a 2TB
M.2. I then want to move the current 960 GB in slot 1 to slot 3. I want to make a fresh windows install on the 2TB and format the 960GB.

Will there be any issues with this? Previously I had a 480GB M.2 SSD in slot 2. I formatted it and removed it and replaced it with a 960GB but when I did this Windows could not find the boot drive (slot 1).

I don't mind doing a fresh install at all if that is the only solution.
