Windows 10: Move C Drive to New PC

Hi everyone,I'm trying to replace my motherboard and CPU from i9-9900Z390 to i5-13600Z790. I'm using M2 SSD as my C drive now and trying to move it to my new motherboard.What should i do now? Should I just simply move my SSD into new motherboard and run it? Or do I need to download windows 11 on USB and install? Btw my windows has digital license and linked to my Microsoft account.Thank you guys.

:)

 

Can't find the C drive in Windows 10

All the suggestions above work, however, the easiest way to find C Drive is to type>This PC in the search box>Right click on>This PC and choose pin to taskbar. The hiding of C Drive and other Drives is another one of Microsoft's one-step forward and three-steps
back.

• Press Windows key + E.
• On the left pane, click This PC. It will show you list of different folders. For

After adding a new larger HD and cloning drive C, how do I rename the new drive to "C" with the older drive C still installed in the Desktop PC?

Hi Dave. I have not changed the boot order yet, when I turned on the PC this morning after the cloning was completed, the PC opened into setup BIOS screen. It listed both drives, the old listed as drive C and the new one as drive E. It asked me which drive to boot to, I kept it at the old one for now until I felt I had a better understanding of this works without causing issues.

I have not formatted the old drive yet to wipe it clean.
