You’re looking to upgrade your PC’s boot drive from a slower NVMe storage to a faster one. In Windows, you can manage this by using the built-in disk management tools. First, identify the new drive and ensure it’s properly recognized. Then, right-click on the boot device (usually labeled “Boot” or similar) and select “Change Drive Letter and Paths.” Update the lettering to match your new drive. Finally, restart your PC and verify the new drive appears correctly in the list.

Are you referring to relocating the system? That would likely mean reinstalling, unless it's already set up correctly in your BIOS.

Acronis True Image successfully will clone a Windows 10 installation. So that is done. You can clone your Linux partitions with GParted. Boot a 'Live'-USB and clone the partitions. Resize if needed/wanted. Your partitions will have other UUID's (to know the UUID use GParted), so you need to adjust the following files: fstab (found in /etc) In etc/grub.d you need to modify your 10_linux_proxy file and 30_OS_prober (for your Windows OS). Then do a sudo update-grub.
