Windows 10: Getting a new PC, would like to transfer Windows 10 and all Programs and Softawre

So I purchased a new computer, completely new hardware. My old computer pretty much gave up and no longer turns on but the old SSD should still be fine.


My question is 1
Can i just unplug the old SSD, and then put it into the new PC, and then clone it?


2 In addition, how would I transfer Windows 10 to the new M.2 SSD that I have purchased. Would I clone it using some software? Are there any suggestions as to which works best and will not install malware?



Thank you.

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

transfer programs like Office 2010 that is on a Windows 7 PC to a new PC with Windows 10

How do you transfer programs like Office 2010 that is on a Windows 7 PC to a new PC with Windows 10? I want to keep all the settings and Outlook folders from the old PC. I can not find the "Easy Transfer" program on Windows 10.

 

Installing Windows 10 on New PC?

I'm going to be building a new PC on Christmas and want to install Windows 10 on it. I have Windows 10 on my current PC, which I installed upgrading from 8.1 with the files on a USB. How do I go about installing a clean copy of Windows 10 on this new PC? I think I recall something about installing it once makes Microsoft recognize your hardware, but since this will be a PC I'm not sure what steps I need to take. Do I need to go 8.1 -> 10 or is there a method of going directly to 10?
