Yes.

Imaging or cloning, with a program like Macrium Reflect.

You refer to "data".

Do you mean you do NOT want to move the operating system and installed programs, just the personal data? Or do you want to move "everything"?

Probably everything it would be nice to have that new drive for all my games and the os and keep the 120 gb for extra files I don’t use often

There is a bit of a learning curve with Macrium reflect.
If you want simple, buy a Samsung ssd replacement and use the samsung ssd migration app.
You can download the app and instructions here:

Tool & Software Download | Samsung Semiconductor Global

Download various software related to your product, including Samsung Magician, designed for use with Samsung's memory products, and find related information.

semiconductor.samsung.com

You install the new ssd, run the app and when done just remove the old ssd and boot from your new windows c drive.
