- Use a dedicated folder for your 2TB M.2 SSD and copy all mod files there.
- Keep your mods organized in a separate directory, then move them to the SSD folder when updating.
- Consider using a mod manager that supports hardware changes, like Vortex or Mod Manager Plus.
- If you're comfortable with manual steps, back up your current mods and install them on the new SSD before updating.

Ensure the destination drive or filesystem matches your Windows setup for a complete clone. If you only need to save your mods, consider using Nexus Mods and Vortex to create a mod collection. This feature lets you share or replicate your exact mod set across devices. It’s useful for maintaining consistency on multiple computers or transferring collections like Fallout 4, Skyrim, and RDR2.
Clone it. there's no reason to reinstall windows just because you got a new drive. still rocking my original install from 2017. ^from the source itself, reinstalling windows isn't necessary in general, its just like a placebo thing people like doing for some reason
