So I have a 512gb M.2 SSD on my Windows 10 pc, it works great and I like it a lot but it's becoming too small for my needs.

To that end I've purchased a 1 TB M.2 SSD and my question is this.... The current SSD is setup as drive D and has just one folder on it that contains a flight simulator game, can I simply move this folder to a temporary location on my C:\ drive, install the new SSD and set it up as D drive in disk manager, then move the folder from the temporary location on C:\ on to the new SSD D drive...??
 
Solution
Yes.
You are fine doing that.

Another thing you can do....is just leave the 512gb in there (if you have two M2 slots) and move it when you are done....but if you only have one M2 slot.....you can do it the way you suggested.
