    May I migrate my SSD with Win10 installed to a new system?


    Currently I have an Asus laptop with Windows 10 installed on an SSD, the laptop has an Intel CPU and integrated GPU, so of course it contains Intel drivers and all. Now, I am building a new system with an AMD processor and AMD graphics card. So I question if I can pull my drive out and insert it on the new system without resetting Windows or doing a clean install, as I plan on using it as my boot drive and OS anyways.


    I have thought of:

    1. Using the Win10 feature to reset it to factory settings and wiping my data using my laptop, and then transferring it I imagine this will get rid of the Intel drivers I won't be needing

    or

    2. Installing a new system over the one I am currently using with an 8gb thumb drive


    I would love to know if by simply migrating the drive without doing anything will work boot and run, as it would be a hassle to install a new system not on what I originally planned to do, but if it is the only solution, I have no other choice.


    Note: Win10 is activated with a digital license to my MS account, so I shouldn't have problems activating it. Also, whatever the solution may be, I will be backing up my data before making any changes.

    :)

    Migrating Win10 to NVMe SSD

    I am going to migrate my Win10 to my NVMe SSD. Installation wise there should be no problem. However I cannot seem to be able to erase the old Windows 10 on the SATA SSD. If I boot from USB Win10 Installation media it only ask me whether I want to repair the SATA SSD Win10 or not. Any ideas on how to complete erase the SSD that currently have Win10 on it? I tried sanitize drive and PSID revert in Win10, neither would work. The SATA SSD is Crucial MX200.

    Win10 migration to SSD

    I am adding an SSD and want to migrate Win10 to it. My current HDD has too many files on it to migrate all, because the size of the SSD is smaller than the HDD. Where can I find out what files and folders are essential to operate Win10 and exclude all
    other files so I can meet the size requirements of my SSD?
