Move a Windows 10 drive to a new PC as-is?
I am in the process of moving to a new DIY PC (Intel NUC). I have an idea that I could just move the C: drive from my old PC to this new one and avoid having to install any applications or go through...
Good news. I took the jump and went from a 5+-year old HP Proliant Microserver to an 8th-gen Intel NUC and simply inserted my C: drive from the old computer to the new one and except for Windows not being activated, all else worked fine. There were a ton of driver updates but Windows 10 was able to detect all of them and install the updates. I had my Windows 8.1 Pro license key for the previous computer that I was able to use on this one.
Hello again, glad to hear that Windows did such great work on retrieving all the drivers.
Have a good one :)
