Adding a second SSD and making it the primary and boot drive

[EricWebber1]

Unsure if this is the best place but I am trying to figure out how to best configure my storage for my Laptop. It has 2 NVMe Slots.

• 
  Originally came with 500GB drive
  
  
• 
  Added my own 1TB WD drive to empty NVME Slot
  
  
• 
  Very little data on the original drive, most are in one drive except system and a few apps
  
  • 
    I don't mind wiping everything and starting from scratch I have a boot image and drivers on USB but I would like to avoid if possible
    
• 
  Cloned 500gb drive to 1 TB drive
  
  • 
    Looks like everything is identical except the system is still running off original
    
    
  • 
    Half of 1TB drive is unallocated
    

What I want is for everything to be on the new 1TB drive and have the laptop run off of that drive with the old drive empty and formatted for additional space if I run out on the new one. The issue I am running into is it tells me windows is still on the original drive and I can't format it. I tried going into bios and "I think" I changed settings to boot off the new drive but I ran into the same issue. In theory, since the new drive is cloned should I just be able to run off that one and wipe the old one? Thanks in advance, I imagine this is a lot easier than I am making it. Here is a picture of the current Disk management.



It would be great if outside of the neccesary recovery partitions I just had one large C drive on Disk 0 and then one D Drive on Disk 1.
