1. Power off
2. Take out the GPU
3. Disconnect the old SSD
4. Put in the new SSD
5. Put in the GPU
6. Set up the OS
Or, hold off on step 5 until later. Either option is fine.

The GPU can be placed on top of the SSD if everything is set correctly.
To install or take it out, you need to take the GPU away from the SSD.

And after that remove the gpu
(assuming I’m too scared to run the pc without a gpu connected even though I know it’s fine 😀)
Insert the old ssd, install the gpu, and power system right?
Also, any tips for optimizing gaming performance during Windows installation?

Do not reattach the previous SSD until the operating system is fully operational on the new device.

Sure, I understand you're looking for a specific Windows installation guide that focuses on gaming performance.

The standard vanilla version, as referenced earlier, is sufficient.
Many guides claiming to boost gaming speed are misleading.

After ensuring both SSDs are active and Windows is installed on the newer one, navigate to Disk Management, remove all partitions from the previous drive, then set up a fresh partition and format it.
