Installing old data drive in new computer

My current laptop has two SSD drives (both SATA interface). The C: drive for operating system and programs and a D: drive for all my data.

In a few days, I'll be receiving my new HP laptop. It comes with an M2 SSD (512GB) and a 1TB HDD (SATA interface).

I plan on using the new M2 drive for operating system and programs.

I want to remove the new 1TB hard drive and replace it with the 2TB SSD (SATA) that contains all my data from my old laptop.

My concern is that I've moved my "documents" folder from C: to D:. If I power up my new laptop, I'm afraid Windows 10 will get confused by having the documents folder (and its subfolders) in two places.

Should I power up my new computer, with new drives in place, and move my documents folder to the new HDD and also set up my current D: drive folder structure on the new drive, minus the actual data.

Then power down the computer and replace the new HDD with my 2TB SSD?

Is this the simplest way to do this or is there a better method?

Thanks so much for your help and time!

 

HP Plans SSD Drives in Future Business Laptops

Hewlett-Packard plans to offer solid-state drives (SSDs) as an option in all professional series laptop PCs starting from next month because the drives operate faster, conserve battery life, have less weight, and are more durable than conventional hard disk drives. HP will first offer the option of 64GB NAND flash memory drives in products it announced earlier this month, the HP Compaq 2710p, 2510p, 6910p, and 8000 series, and will continue to offer it in future models. Choosing the SSD option will add around $1,000 to the cost of a laptop, but HP expects the cost to come down as SSDs gain acceptance in the marketplace and volumes increase, said Dan Forlenza, vice president of business notebooks at HP, during a news conference in Taipei.
