Need assistance with relocating windows? Let me know what you need help with!
(btw feel free to correct me) i recently built my own pc and me being me i had my hdd plugged in when i was installing windows. i found out later but i didn't bother restarting the process of installing windows because i had already installed 500gb of data but now it is really anoying because for what i do i need to restart me pc often and you guessed it i hate myself. so is there any way of just moving windows to my ssd without losing all my data just like moving a folder. i looked online but the only results i found where people with laptops backing up and moving everything. here are my specs if you need them for any reason: i7 9700k rtx 2080 asus (rog) maximus hero xi 32gb ddr4 corsair vengeance rgb pro samsung 970 evo plus 1tb seagate something 1tb and no my mom didn't buy my pc i saved up for 3 or 4 years. but thanks in advance for reading / helping me.

It tends to act a bit simple-minded. I was attempting to transfer Windows 10 from one SSD to another using cloning via a partition manager, but it failed because data on my D drive or possibly F drive got mixed up while SSDs were involved. Luckily, both SSDs were Samsung, and I was able to use the Samsung cloning tool to resolve the issue.
