  1. transfer windows to new ssd drive


    I know all the hard ways to buy a new drive and jury rig my windows 10 to the new drive, etc... But what is the official way, the Microsoft way to take everything on DRIVEC OLD and move it to the new and faster DRIVEC NEW? I've used disk mirroring software and then windows recovery for it to be made bootable but there has to be a clean way, yes?


    Microsoft must understand that SSD drives need to be replaced after so many writes and this does not mean I want a new virgin start over!


    Thanks in advance....

    :)

  3. How to transfer windows 8/10 to new hard drive

    I have a windows 8 installation disk with licence, I used it to build a computer.

    I have since used the free upgrade to windows 10 on this computer.

    I just purchased a new SSD drive that I want to install in this computer.

    I am looking for step by step instructions on the best way to install or transfer windows 10 to this new drive.

    Do I install the windows 8 and then upgrade to windows 10? Will I have to pay to do that? Do I need to do anything before the install? Take down the key or licence number somewhere? Where do I find that?

    Any help or suggestions would be of great assistance.

    Thanks.

    Help with OS Transfer on a new build

    Need some help figuring out what I need to do for a fresh build tomorrow. I will be moving off of my old CPU and mobo to a new X99 system. Right now I have my OS on a Sata SSD and want to transfer it onto a new NVME drive.

    Some issues:
    • I have a windows 10 upgrade from a RETAIL windows 7 license so I should have migration rights correct?
    • I have 3 other non-OS drives so after I do the install with my old/ current Microsoft account will my fresh install of windows recognise those drives?
    If you guys could shed some light on how to do this or advice please lend a hand. thanks!
