Migrating to New System Drive: Drive Letter ?

Got a new SSD for my system, partitioned it into K: (System) and J:
(Data).
Took an image of the existing system, then restored it to K: (System) on
the new SSD.
My plan is to:
- Shut down the PC,
- Replace the old SSD with the new SSD,
- Turn on the PC
- Bring up the BIOS' Boot menu
- Tell it to boot from the new SSD
- Wait for Windows to come up
- Change drive K: to C:
Does anybody see a problem here?
I'm thinking about whatever pointers Windows has to C:\Whatever causing
some sort of problem(s) before I can get to the drive letter change.
Clone software should clone C: to K:
Then you shutdown and remove C: and place K: in where C: was
The cloned drive itself should boot and change the drive letter to C: automatically
Don't put the old C: in, just boot with the K in place like C was.
Once it's booted you can install the 2nd ssd if you wish as some other letter of course.
