How To X | How to Install an Additional Drive & Make it the Main Windows Disk | Cloning NVMe Gen 4 SSD M.2 C @HowToX | Uploaded March 2023 | Updated October 2024, 8 hours ago.
In this tutorial I show the installation process for a second SSD drive on a desktop PC (This works with HDDs too). I'll get the drive up and running, and then convert it to being the main C Drive that boots the Windows operating system (aka Local Disk). I'll use cloning tool to do the process.
