Question: Is there a way to move the boot partition from HDD to SSD(NVME) while the OS partition is already on the SSD partition without loosing any data and reinstalling w10?
When I was installing w10 on SSD, the installer created boot partition on HDD which I didn’t unplugged before the installation.I would like to avoid formatting SSD with OS partition and reistalling the w10 (and all the soft) in order to place booting partition on the same SSD as OS is located.

After this is done, reboot your pc, go into BIOS and set SSD as first in boot order. Newly created partition will now have description “System” in Disk Management.
