Windows 10: Can I access an OS HDD in a newer PC build from an old PC build?

I have a WD Blue 1TB HDD that I used in a previous build as my OS drive. It's also the only drive with data that I used in my old PC build. Almost all of the disk space was used up, and I tried to back up the data onto an external drive it backed up but I can't find the files I'm looking for which tells me it wasn't a complete backup. After backing up the data, I disconnected the drive, and plugged it into my newer PC. However I found that I couldn't actually access the drive. It wouldn't even show up by BIOS or Windows. I can't remember what the drive was set to Raid or AHCI. Is there a w

PC Build Steps

Ok just because I like steps i am going to create some steps. Please give me the stamp of approval/disapproval

• Install system in case
  • Remember to connect SSD and optical to same SATA ports on motherboard
• Turn on PC
• setup HDD
• run blend test in prime95 for 30-60 min
  • run realtemp at the same time

• While in Prime95 test
  • if CPU goes above 70c in RealTemp, I have a leaky CPU
  • if my system locks up or blue screens, there is an instability in the system somewhere
  • if my system does not lock up or blue screen, my CPU is not damaged and I am in the clear!

What do you guys think??

 

New pc build ssd and hdd

I recently finish to build my gaming system

and instead get a HDD

I choose a secondary SSD for overall performance vs a regular HDD

and the SSD have other benefits compare to a HDD.!

my primary SSD 111GB I have the OS and the game I play everyday

my secondary M2 SSD 256GB I have my backup and one more game

my primary SSD still have 37,8GB free space

my secondary SSD still have 150GB free space

why I choose an SSD for my secondary hard drive?

because the price was reasonable and plus I have a M2 SSD port on my motherboard

and I never run out for space

and obviously because the SSD is faster and doesn't produce heat like a HDD does

I used to use a 500GB HDD in my old build

and I remember when I defrag the HDD it take at least 1 hour

the SSD doesn't have to be defrag and I love it...!!!!

 

About building my own PC

It is enough to build a PC, not the fastest PC on the planet... And as the OP didn't specify the PC type, then yes it is enough.

It is not enough to build the highest end PC as you've suggested.
