    Is it recommended to reinstall Windows 10 when I upgrade from 1TB SSD to 2TB SSD on a desktop PC?

    Hi, it is suggested to do clean install if you have Windows Installation disc in hand. You have not specified much personal configurations till now. You can install applications or add drivers after installing Windows 10 on the 2TB SSD.

    It is also a good idea to keep the 1TB SSD as the secondary storage if you're running a desktop. Just in case you need to

    copy 2TB SSD to 1TB SSD     for another purpose one day, disk cloning helps system migration without installing.

    Regards.

    Is it recommended to reinstall Windows 10 when I upgrade from 1TB SSD to 2TB SSD on a desktop PC?

    Hi, I have just built a new computer but I have not activated Windows 10 yet. I plan to upgrade the SSD from my current 1TB SSD to 2TB SSD within the next three months. In this case, is it better to copy all user files from the 1TB SSD to an external drive,
    install Windows 10 on the new 2TB drive and copy all user files back to the new 2TB drive or clone whatever I have in the 1TB to the 2TB drive? Is cloning less good than a clean vanilla install?

    Ugrading my 1TB MBR HDD to a 4TB GPT SSD

    You should do steps as follows

    1) clone 1TB hdd to SSD

    2) run mbr2gpt utility to convert ssd to uefi

    Convert Windows 10 from Legacy BIOS to UEFI without Data Loss

    3) extend 1tb partition on SSD to 4TB using tool like Easeus Partition Master (free version is ok).

    Step 2 is the critical step.
