Awesome! You are the new Sandeep! I can't tell from your posts if this is your first SSD, but if it is, you will love it.

Ironically, the Macrium software likely, like Acronis and others, allowed you to move the recovery drive to the other side. I have no idea why Microsoft does that, but hey, it's Microsoft. Most of the partitioning software will tell you what the steps will be prior to performing them, so you are in good shape.

The only thing I would suggest is make sure you have a good backup of your new SSD before doing anything. At least that is why it is good to have the old backup. You could get a very inexpensive WD blue 4TB drive (if there is space) and put it in the computer. You could have imaged it quickly to that drive. Or since you should practice the 3-2-1 backup rule, you may have an external USB drive. I generally have the same size or larger SSD lying around and clone from SSD to SSD (their software is incredible). Again, just plug the newest into the computer via USB and it clones in minutes. Then label it. Of course, any backup like that will only be good for a week or two, but making major partition changes would be considered major for people like you and me.

I have my own rule. Since it is 1-2-3, I just think 1-2-3 and A, B, C. so

A) All changes
B) Backup
C) Clone

Of course not talking about downloading Spotify, lol.

Are am excited for you. The best way to learn is to just do it. Sounds like Nike.

If this is your first SSD, please report back. Let us know the reboot times, and how your Word and Email programs open.
