You have two storage options: a 500GB NVMe SSD with Windows 10 and a 250GB SATA SSD with PopOS. You're considering dual-booting by creating a clone of PopOS on the NVMe drive, transferring Windows to the SATA drive, removing PopOS from there, and then expanding it to run PopOS. This approach keeps your Windows files safe while allowing you to switch operating systems. It may require careful planning but avoids losing data. Alternatively, backing up everything to an external drive and installing a fresh Windows install could be simpler if you prefer not to manage the dual-boot setup. Let me know which path you'd like more details on.
