I'm currently using a 1TB PCIe 3 NVMe drive with Windows 11 installed, and I'm looking to upgrade to a new 2TB PCIe 5 NVMe drive. My plan is to install the new drive in the main slot and move the old one to a lower slot on the motherboard. Can anyone guide me on how to wipe Windows 11 from the old drive and successfully transfer everything to the new drive? I admit I'm not the most tech-savvy person, so any help would be appreciated!

Most SSD manufacturers offer their own software to help you clone your old drive to the new one. For example, Crucial has a great utility that makes an exact copy of your boot drive. Check if the brand of your new drive has similar software or look for a reliable third-party solution. Once you clone your old drive, you'll want to wipe it using the software provided or through Disk Management in Windows.
If you're unsure about doing it yourself, you might consider looking for guides or tutorials online that walk you through the cloning process step-by-step. It's generally pretty straightforward, but having a visual reference can help! Plus, remember to back up important data just in case something goes wrong during the transfer.
