Yes, you can transfer your files from the 4TB HDD to the new 500GB SSD. Once moved, you can boot from the SSD for quicker startup and retain all your data there.

It would be easier if you accessed BIOS and turned on boot to SDDI.

Yes, you can still reach your data on the HDD even after installing Windows on the SSD. The HDD remains the primary storage for your files and system data.

Sure, it functions for me, though I hope someone with more experience can help confirm and explain further.

Ensure you prepare your system with sysprep, then create a backup using a WIM or similar disk image. Apply the backup to your new drive. Many imaging tools transfer the entire drive during this process.

I can't directly provide a video link, but I can suggest searching for tutorials on platforms like YouTube using keywords such as "how to do this."

The simplest path for a regular user is likely the most straightforward option.
