Transfering files from former M.2 SSD with former windows files to the newer drive with clean installed windows which is used for boot?

I currently have Windows 11 installed on a 256GB SAMSUNG PM991 M.2 SSD whose capacity is not enough for me. I bought 1TB SAMSUNG 980 M.2 SSD, which I was going to use to clone the 256GB one, but because of the 256GB drive being so crowded; I decided to do a clean installation on the 1TB drive instead. The problem is, I will have to transfer some of my files. I know that I can transfer them from an USB disk, but I am afraid that I will forget some files.

First question is;

  • Is it possible to plug the M.2 SSD through USB port without any problem? (due to the nature of M.2 SSD’s being exposed to environment)

If the first question is possible, the second question is;

  • Does the 256GB SSD have any chance to corrupt the windows that will have been installed on the 1TB drive?

Thank you for your time.
