    Transferring Windows to smaller NVME SSD from a bigger NVME SSD


    So, I recently got a 500gb Samsung 980 Pro and I want to transfer Windows from my 1TB WD Blue to my new SSD. So I set it up and everything went well setting it up wise, until I looked up how to change the boot drive in my PC. For all of the scenarios they had a 1tb HDD then a 4TB SSD, so I did more researching and found out that I can do it but I have to pay $50! So I tried to do it myself I went to copy the Windows folder and pasted it onto my new SSD then I allowed it to download, after that I went to go to the BIOS but I could not find where to change my boot drive.

    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.

    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 ?

    M2 NVME SSD

    How much exactly does Windows 10 benefit from being installed on an M2 NVME SSD compared to a SATA-600 SSD ?

    Other than a faster boot time, how exactly does windows benefit from the direct connection to the cpu that an NVME SSD offers?
