    Windows 10 migration

    I think, if I understand, you want to use the new SSD as the old one is now?



    Two ways I can think of:

    1) CLONE the old SSD to the new SSD, remove the old SSD and format it before putting it back in.

    2) Take out the OLD SSD, leave in the new SSD, install Windows only, update device drivers and Windows 10 itself fully. Install only the programs you want on the system and then, put in the old SSD and copy the stuff you need off of it (your documents,
    etc.) onto the new drive/setup and then erase the old SSD.
