Windows 10: Hey folks! I am building a PC from scratch, and destroying my old one. I need to migrate my...

The only piece of hardware that will be the same is my current HD, a 2 TB SSD. I figure the best thing to do considering I will have all new hardware including a new motherboard will be to do a clean install. I'll have all my personal files stored away so I will do a fresh full format of the SSD first. But I would like to use my current version of Windows 10 without having to buy a new one. Do I just need to create a bootable USB stick to get my new PC started? Thanks in advance!

Migrating to new pc and virtualize old pc

hello everyone,
I got a new pc and I wanted to "migrate" (do you say that? or clone?) the old pc on the new one.

The idea that I have based on my knowledge would be to have cloned the disk of the old pc to a vhd or vhdx file in the new pc and have a dual boot on vhd.

Also I would like to have a second vhd clone that I can use with a virtual machine at the same time as the new pc system.

I am aware that there is a "sysprep" command that prepares for a cloning on different hardware, besides I have seen that there is also a disk2vhd software that could help.

But I also noticed that macrium allows you to prepare a backup to be restored to new hardware. BUT I don't know how it works.

For the virtualization part I have an idea of a "virtual2phisical" software.

Obviously mine are just ideas that I don't know how to actualize in detail. Is anyone aware of a faster way?

Do you have any better suggestions for implementing this project?

Can you help me with the steps to take?

Thanks,

 

Migrating to new pc and virtualize old pc

I loaded the other virtual disk created with macrium into the virtual machine that starts and I saw that they look the same.

Anyone with any suggestions to understand why the version made with macrium does not start?

Also I would like to boot natively on vhd if someone can show me a way ....

 

New Gaming Build

Hey all,

I'm looking to upgrade my PC as it's getting fairly old now and showing its age. Would you be able to provide me with some feedback on the below build.

I'm using a 1.5k budget.

Laptops, Gaming PCs, 4K Monitors, Graphics Cards | Ebuyer.com

The GPU isn't listed, but I will be using a GTX 970 and I also have a Samsung 850 EVO 250 GB mainly for my OS. (SSD was added recently to my current rig).

All feedback / suggestions welcome.

Many thanks,
