Hello, you're looking to transfer your Windows installation from a C partition on an SATA SSD to an M.2 NVMe SSD while keeping all programs and data intact. Since you've tried using cloning software before and faced issues with the cloned install, it's wise to explore safer alternatives now. Consider using a reliable disk cloning tool like Macrium Reflect or Acronis True Image for a clean, automated process. This will ensure your entire system remains consistent and minimizes the risk of errors.

Use software such as MiniTool Partition Wizar or AOMEI to create a clone of your drive. Simply install the tools and complete the setup process to duplicate your data.

This involves cloning the entire drive, including partitions, using a sector-by-sector approach for the boot drive. You can then expand the main partition if the new drive is larger.

This applies to the random partition Windows creates on a secondary drive when needed. To make it removable, you'll need to adjust its settings or formatting.

Uncertain at all... I've never seen it before, didn't realize it was achievable! Could this be available as a prebuilt or OEM version?

You mentioned using a 500GB SSD for startup and a 2TB laptop drive you found. It seems the laptop drive might not have been formatted properly, leaving it as the boot drive, which caused Windows to create a partition there. This appears to be your likely explanation.
