Windows 10: Expanded to a second NVMe SSD, now what?

Long story short, I filled up my initial 1tb SSD and bought and installed another one, and initiated it so it’s ready to go. The 1st one has everything C: boot, etc.The big questions now are how should I set these up with my files? What should I migrate over to the new one and how should I handle storage going forward I guess to keep things balanced across both SSDs?

NVME SSD

Tried this, and windows still didn't see the nvme ssd. It was a brand new nvme ssd right out of the box. Nothing works.

 

Upgrade Windows 7 on SSD NVMe to Windows 10 on SSD NVMe

Hi Varnium,

Thanks for updating me.

Usually, you can install Windows 10 on SSD NVme directly if your computer BIOS detects it.

You can try the following steps if your computer detects the SSD NVme:

1-After creating a Windows 10 bootable USB and going through the installation process. From the Installation page "Install Now", press F10 to open the Command Prompt.

2-Type these commands and hit enter:

diskpart

list disk

select disk X (Replace X with your SSD NVme number shown in the list above)

clean

3-Restart your computer and go through the installation process.

If your computer does not detect it or the BIOS detects it, but you cannot see it during the installation process, it is best to contact your computer manufacturer's support services to provide you with accurate information about configuring BIOS.

Here are similar cases:

Note: Make sure you can find all Windows 10 compatible drivers for your computer from manufacturer's official website and your computer fully supports Windows 10 before taking further actions.

Please do not hesitate to ask if you need further assistance.

M2 NVME SSD

So you think it truly is worth it to have windows installed on an M2 NVME SSD instead of installing it on a sata-600 ssd and installing your most important software on the M2 NVME SSD ?
