Windows 10: How can I transfer windows from one drive to another?

I recently got an NVMe drive 970 Evo Plus 2 TB and want to make it my new boot drive since it's supposed to be much faster than my current SATA based ssd. Most of the help guides I've found assume an old drive died and there isn't a working copy of windows on the machine, not that there's just a newer faster drive added to a working system.


If there's an easier way to do it maybe through disk manager or something? I would love to hear it. Preferably I'd like to avoid having to mess with my BIOS since my PC is being weird and refusing to open it on startup monitor and keyboard take longer to wake up than the prompt screen lasts is my best guess, though unplugging my boot drive didn't cause it to boot to bios either, regardless that isn't a question for this forum.


If it's too intensive I'll just run off the current setup until my old SSD bites it and use my portable drive backup of windows to follow the normal steps.

Need Help Files Transfer

I have a computer running Windows XP Home Edition. That computer has two internal HDDs:

The 1st HDD is C:\ that running Windows. And it has 20GB total of capacity.
The 2nd HDD is D:\ that is empty. And it has 90GB total of capacity.

The C:\ drive is almost run out of space (full). Is there a way I can transfer everything in the C:\ drive to the D:\ drive and begin to use the D:\ drive from there on as primary drive?
Can the Windows Files Transfer feature in XP transfer everything I have in C:\ to D:\? If it cannot, then which way can I use to perform the above step?

Thank you.
