256 gigabytes is certainly sufficient for running Windows. A typical Windows 10 setup usually stays under 50GB.

Check if you can transfer your current Windows setup from an SSD to this M.2 drive.

I have a 50GB game installed, which leaves about 80GB free. If you can handle the files—especially the users folder—moving the data to another SSD would help. Skipping game installations would make 256GB more than sufficient.

You can, though it isn't that straightforward. You need specialized software to duplicate your previous SSD and partitions onto the new one. If the sizes don't match, you'll also have to adjust the partition sizes (most tools handle this). The installation process generates several partitions, including recovery ones, that must be copied as well. I’d really prefer a clean install instead—it’s simpler than managing the cloning process.
