I'm running Windows 11 on an AMD Ryzen 7 3700x with 32 GB of RAM and a 2060 graphics card. Lately, my computer has been extremely slow, especially when waking it up from sleep, taking about 5 minutes for anything to open. Task Manager shows my C drive (HDD) at 100% usage, and I'm wondering if it's failed. I've used 215 GB of its 930 GB capacity. I also have two SSDs: one is a Samsung EVO 250GB SATA and the other is an NVMe drive. I'd like to know how to quickly transfer my OS to the NVMe SSD so I can get back to work today. Do I need to reinstall Windows, or is there a workaround? I'll order an SSD to replace the HDD, but it won't arrive for a couple of days. Any advice would be appreciated!

You might want to use Macrium Reflect to clone your OS from the HDD to the NVMe SSD. Just make sure you backup any important data from the SSD, as it will be formatted during the cloning process. Once you've cloned it, you'll need to adjust the boot settings in your BIOS to start from the new SSD. That should help speed things up!
Will the cloning process transfer everything from my C drive to the F drive? How do I set up the PC to boot from the F drive afterwards?
