You may duplicate the storage but cannot transfer Windows directly.

You can transfer game files easily, just like with other games. For the operating system, use a cloning tool (some manufacturers add it to their SSDs).

If you own a Samsung SSD (other brands may have similar options), these drives usually come with a disc containing cloning software. You can use it to duplicate everything. My advice is to begin with a clean Windows installation, so you can assign programs to either the SSD or the main hard drive. I only store my most frequently used applications on the SSD (including Windows). Steam can be saved to the SSD, but when downloading games you can switch it to your hard drive.

You mentioned moving windows? It should be feasible based on the size and number of people involved. Laughing it off, I’ll need to clone the drive. Using the proper tools makes it simple.

You're starting with a 500GB SSD and saving your HDD for later. To begin a fresh Windows installation, you'll need to format the SSD and create a bootable USB drive.

I think the Windows disk might have a recovery option. It hasn't worked much in a while.

The SSD is compact, while the HDD occupies more space.
