Installing my old laptops SSD into my new laptop as a second drive

Hi all, just acquired a new Dell laptop. It came with a 250GB nvme SSD which is a bit small for my needs. It does however have the option to install a second SSD. My old laptop just so happens to have a 500GB Samsung Evo 840 SSD and it still works well. I have Windows Professional installed, all up to date according to MS.

i am thinking, to kill two birds with one stone, install the Samsung 500GB SSD into the new laptop as a second drive. By doing this I get both the additional storage I need and all my files on my old laptop. Now I realize I will need to delete the old Windows folder and all application folders, just retaining the My Documents etc folders with my docs, images, spreadsheets etc but will I run into any other issues, for example permissions? I would not be able to format this second SSD as I need the files on it and right now, I don’t have anywhere to back it up to.

i just want to be sure that this won’t bite me with multiple complicated issues And warning pop up messages down the line or slow the PC down.

 

How do I make a folder on one laptop visible to another laptop?

I re-read your first post. Here are the steps I've taken.

1) One folder on the old laptop => Properties => Sharing => Advanced Sharing => Share this folder.

2) Same folder => Properties => Security => all user names have full control. (My new laptop name is not listed). I don't see a way to add my new laptop name.

3) Folder Explorer on my new laptop => Network --- lists my Win7 laptop --- does not list my old laptop.
