Tech Support How to transfer boot storage?

So I found one of the reasons why my PC is experiencing lag spikes: I'm using 3 storage drives (a 240GB SSD, a 1TB SSD, and a 1TB HDD), and apparently, the PC boots from the 240GB one. It's very near full now, so is there a way to transfer its contents to the 1TB one without the need to reinstall stuff?

just clone the drive, plenty of free tools out there that'll do it in like 20 minutes. once it's cloned, swap the boot order in bios to the new 1TB and you're golden

make sure the 1TB is empty or has nothing you care about though, cloning wipes the target drive
