I am currently using a Samsung 500Gb SSD for the P3d flighsim and add-ons but I recently bought a XGA(A-Data) 1Tb NVMe PCIe M.2 SSD which is 6-7 times faster speed-wise at an extremely good price. Will the copy program Acronis True image HD work to create a new Flightsim "D" drive without reinstalling everything?

Again, the hard-drive "D" path-links should remain the same.

That should work, but to think that your NVMe drive is 6-7x faster is setting yourself up for disappointment. Expect it to be faster on benchmarks, but not noticeably faster day to day.

cheers!

Even the Windows Copy command will do the job..

I've copied my FS drive several times to another one using windows explorer. Never had any problems. Only make sure you give it the original drive letter.

I've never had an SSD yet, I still have all of my flight sim stuff running off a very old 500GB spinning Seagate.  I see a 500GB SSD can be bought for $65 or so nowadays, if setting them up is really that simple maybe it's time I make the switch...

It’s worth it, make sure your operating system is on one too. That’s where you’ll see the most difference.

I’d consider reinstalling Windows on that though.
