You're asking about moving your SSD from one SATA port to another. It sounds like you're trying to switch the drive without changing BIOS settings or drive letters. Just plugging the SATA cable might work, but make sure the new slot is compatible and properly recognized. You won't need to reconfigure much unless you're changing how the drive is accessed.

The setup should work perfectly. Your existing motherboard recognizes the SATA SSD with Windows installed, allowing you to connect it to another port easily.

Typically, devices should grab it automatically since boot priority isn't set by port but by the drive, and the system should notice the movement.
