  1. Can I install my old hard disk into my new PC without any problems?


    Here's the situation:

    My old PC only showed one blue screen and since this one was old I bought a new one. I ordered this one with a smaller SSD, so I could install my old hard disk with all the old data. I suppose that the blue screen was caused by a broken Windows file. On the new PC Windows is already installed on the SSD.

    Now my question is, can I install my old hard drive just like that? And if there could be problems because of the old Windows on the old hard disk?

    TIA

    :)

    How can I install new clean copy of my windows 10 ?

    I have windows 10 Home: Version: 1709 Build: 16299.248

    I want to format my hard disk and install a new clean of my windows 10 copy.

    1. The first step I want to do is some how to download from the internet from microsoft the windows 10 it self and make a bootable dvd using my external dvd connected with usb to my pc. How can I do it ? Is there any tutorial ?

    2. Second step is to format and clean my hard disk. But in this step I have some problems:

    a. When coming to format my hard disk should I make quick a format ? The long format ? Should I delete the hard disk partition and then create a new one ? Or just installing the windows 10 from the bootable dvd and it will know to install a new clean version ?

    b. I have two hard disks. The one with the windows is C: but the second one is I: is there a way to change the I: to be D: ? The logic say that I should have C: and D:

    Can I install my old hard disk into my new PC without any problems?

    changing my (C) drive to another installed disk without removing old disk

    My main SSD (C) drive is full so I installed another SSD and cloned my old drive to my new drive but I can not figure out how to make the new SSD my Boot drive (C) drive. All searching has pointed to BIOS but I am not seeing my drives in the boot priorities
    list, just 2 UEIFs and some other options. Where can I locate the Hard Disk Drive BBS Priorities?
