Windows 10: Putting Windows on a new Hard Drive

I've recently bought a 1TB NVMe SSD that I'm planning on making my primary drive with Windows on and retiring my current OS drive which is a 120GB SATA SSD.

I've no idea what would be the best method for the job so here I am asking.For a bit of context I'm retiring the drive because its about 6 years old now but its not the only drive in my machine.I also have a 1TB SATA HDD that houses the majority of my Documents I also have a

Windowed Hard Drives

On the contrary, showing off "slow tech" by adding a window to a hard drive is a "dumb" idea. Do you really want to be showing off a whole "7200-10000 RPM of power" or would you rather show off a plain SSD drive? (If you really desire to "show off")

Adding any window to any drive is just stupid. I just suggested an easier option for you since manufactures don't put windows on the latest hard drives.
