Hey guys I am getting a bigger nvme (240gb to 500gb), the 240gb is windows boot. My question is, my mobo has 2 nvme slots, can I just restore a backup image to the new drive (500gb), then within macrium or bios do I set the new drive as boot?
I assume within the bios I would choose the new drive, but would that affect the old windows install on the old drive or would it ignore it and just boot from the new? I just want to format the old drive and use it for other stuff.
I am assuming (dangerous!) it would just ignore it.
