I currently have a 256 GB SSD that I got a while ago and I constantly find myself uninstalling programs just to make room for some new ones and I would like to upgrade so I don't have to worry about that anymore.

Here's the thing, I am currently using Windows 10 that I got via the Windows 7 update patch (like most other people did). So I do not have Windows 10 on any medium of any type. I dread reformatting Windows and getting everything back to how I like it. I avoid it unless absolutely necessary.

My SSD is my main drive (C:) and I have my most important/relevant programs installed there, including my OS. If I got a larger SSD is there any way that I could "copy & paste" literally everything on my main SSD (C:) drive and just end up with everything the way it was, but just with a larger SSD?

I have no clue how to get Windows 10 on an actual "medium" to reformat, but like I said, I would very much like to avoid reformatting if at all possible.
