Hello all, I bought parts to make my dream build and the NVMe M.2 it's going to take longer to get here so I wanted to get it set up with my SATA SSD that's in my current potatoe. Problem is, it's my boot drive. I have an HDD in this PC as well and I would like to transfer my Windows 11 from the SATASSD to the HDD and then format my sata and put Windows 11 back onto it as a fresh install for my new pc. Is there any way to do this?
 
Solution
Just use HDD for your new build instead. Leave SSD in old pc.
When M.2 drive arrives, you can clone HDD to M.2.

This will be for a short time anyway.
