Windows 10: Got a new HDD. Files still trying to find paths to old HDD...

So I got myself a new HDD but not a new SSD so the windows stayed the same. I have tried installing some apps like Epic Games and Battlestate Games Launcher and they both try to find paths to my old path on my HDD. I have no idea how can the even remember these if I don't own it anymore. How can I change the paths so it tries install these new apps on my new hdd? Also windows shows me that Epic Games is still on my PC before I even tried to install it. When I try to uninstall it suprise suprise "it's on the old HDD" so I can't access it BUT I can't also uninstall it because it's "on the old HD

:)

 

Transferring everything from an old HDD to a new HDD

So I just bought a new 3 TB HDD and wanted to figure out what the best way to trasfer all the files (including my Windows 10 OS) onto the new drive. I might use the old one as a back up for important files but I want my new and bigger one to be my main
drive/ boot drive. Any suggestions are appreciated.

 

Transfering OS from old HDD to new HDD

My old hdd is windows 10, but only has ~30gb left of storage and a broken sata cable receiver. Bought a 3TB hdd. Is there a way to transfer all the files and os system from the old to the new?

Hi Johan,

It is possible that your

• 
  Unhooked
  the
  HDD
  and

  PC.
  
• 
  Reconnect
  your
  HDD
  and

If the issue persists, we suggest that you contact your
