i have a 5 years old CS900 500GB SATA SSD for OS and a 1TB HDD for storage and games. CS900 is mostly for OS and the health condition is still good after 5 years, still at 98%. But my HDD is on caution health condition and showing sign of failure.

i just bought a NEW NVME SSD, lexar nm790 1tb. Question., should i

A. just simply replace the old HDD with the new nvme

B. Clone my OS to new nvme and copy paste stuff from HDD to CS900

im aware that the new nvme is way more superior than CS900 in term of speed. How much of the big different is it? is it huge?

soon im gonna get a new ssd, an nvme one. Can someone tell me if im correct with the steps. This is the first time im upgrading pc myself. I will be using macrium reflect.

  1. install the nvme ssd. Activate/initialise it in disk management. Just so the OS or document can be store in it.
  2. Turn on pc and start cloning.
  3. Turn off pc and unplug the old SATA SSD with old OS. Turn on the pc and test if new nvme with OS works and booting up
  4. If success, turn off pc and plug in old SATA SSD and “select all and DELETE” and everything is done

im sceptical with the number 4 part select and delete. Please advice, also anything i mentioned wrong…im terrified if i fuck this up.

Also do i need to open bios and change boot up with the new nvme ssd? The steps above i just turn on and off pc like normal
