Windows 10: Moving spare drives to a new computer.

I just built my new computer and installed windows on a new drive. I've moved my spare drives D:, E: and F: on the old puter to the computer and now they all have "System Reserved" partitions and my data isn't accessible. Any idea how to get to these files? Any help appreciated. TIA

how do i move hard drive to new computer?

intel to intel you have a shot.

Install the latest intel chipset drivers and it may just work transferring it over - the key is to have teh new sata controllers drivers installed BEFORE moving it over (i normally transfer to a PCI-E SATA-II card i have, then boot the new system on the PCI-E card, install the onboard drivers, and then move to the onboard sata.)

for clarification on my steps.

1. install new SATA card/controller in original PC and install drivers
2. power off, move boot drive to the sata card
3. boot windows to make sure it works
4. get new system up, move sata card to it with boot drive attached.
5. boot windows - a few reboots are always needed to get around the change of hardware
6. move the boot drive to the new mobos sata ports, and it should work.

 

New computer - how to move OS to new (larger) drive?

Hi all,

• I got a new computer a few days ago.
• Its startup drive is a 250gb SSD and it has a 1TB standard drive. It has Windows 10 and is working fine...
• However, I have a 1TB SSD I'd rather use as my primary drive. It's from my old computer and has Windows 10 installed.

Is it possible to "move" or reinstall the current OS on my 1TB SSD and use that as the startup drive?

Regarding methods, I've seen a lot of different info all over the place, so thought it might be a better idea to ask here...

thanks

Andrew
