And yes, moving C: is easy and if you want to have Windows only then make sure you have a Windows installation media of the same version and create an empty ESP in the target drive. Then just boot the installer and follow instructions to repair boot, it should install the Windows bootloader manager in the new drive. | |

| Dec 8, 2023 at 11:40 | comment | added | conectionist | @harrymc I've added a screenshot from Disks (Linux). If it's not useful, I can post a screenshot of Disk Management (from Windows), but it will take longer. Let me know. | |
