I want to do a clean install of Windows 11 Pro on a new SSD while keeping all files and folders, including the old Windows 11 installation on my current boot drive. My current setup includes a 1TB M.2 SSD (Drive C) with the existing Windows 11 installation, programs, and data. I also have a 500GB SATA SSD (Drive D) with 359GB of data in one folder.
Here’s my plan:
Move the data folder from Drive D to Drive C.
Format Drive D and install the new Windows 11 on it.
Swap drive letters so the new Windows 11 is on Drive C.
Adjust the boot order in the BIOS.
Afterward, I’d like to clean up the old Windows drive, possibly by disabling or deleting some critical files.
Is this process feasible?
