What is the right way/order of cloning the main HDD to the M.2 NVMe SSD?

The main drive, being the first drive (schijf 0) in the diskmanagement picture is booted from. I tried disconnecting all other drives and booting from the only remaining one, being the M.2 SSD, but my motherboard still didn't detect it.

In the screenshot for diskmanagement, the first disk is the main HDD drive, the second disk is a spare HDD drive and the third is the M.2 NVMe SSD.

Here is a screenshot of diskmanagement https://prnt.sc/pxi5gu I also took a screenshot of my computer specs (bit chaotic maybe but should cover most of it) https://prnt.sc/pxi9wm More info: I used MiniTool Partition Wizard to copy the main HDD drive to the M.2 SSD drive. I am updating my...

That's reassuring to hear, thank you! I will get to it tomorrow and post the update here. :)

I can't. Also I wouldn't mind it not performing 100% as long as it's faster than my current HDD drives. Think of a cheap 1tb HDD drive, that is my main drive basically. Is the 1/2 speed M.2 drive still a performance upgrade?

So you're suggesting in order to use my M.2 SSD NVMe as a windows bootable drive I have to upgrade my motherboard, CPU and most likely my PSU (I can reuse the RAM?) because my motherboard only has a PCIe 2.0 and requires a PCIe 3.0?

I can't right now but will do tomorrow :) Thank you for the interest.

To add: I am investing in this PC because I basically want to use it for the rest of my life and upgrade/repair as I go. I use for everyday work and gaming.

The aim is to have windows and programs installed on the M.2 SSD so that my pc is not bottlenecked by storage. I am currently working with 2 very slow 1tb HDD's and noticed my pc becoming sluggish become of them. I bought the above mentioned SSD not understanding fully what I was getting into...

I used a third party application to copy my HDD to SSD. The computer, when running with the main HDD drive, detects the M.2 SSD and I was able to use it. This is why I'm confused as to why the motherboard can't detect it. I can look up the application if it relevant information :) If you're...

Hi, So I disconnected the HDD drives. The motherboard still doesn't seem to detect the M.2 SSD. I tried playing with the CSM setting but never any luck. Thanks again :)

Hi, thanks for the reply So I've set my motherboard to M.2 and tried going into boot options to boot from M.2. however it doesn't seem to detect it. I also have 2 HDD drives installed, 1 with windows 10 on it which is currently the main drive. I'm not sure if this interferes. I basicly copied...
