It’s going from one SSD to another SSD. I use Acronis, and I double check that the partition is properly aligned using gparted.

I’m having someone ‘scream’ at me for not doing a fresh OS install, and I’m transferring malware from one drive to another, and registry errors, etc, etc, and a cloned drive ‘won’t run at optimal speeds’.

My original drive is fine. It’s just too small, and whatever issues it may or may not have, it works fine for me.

I don’t want to reinstall all my old programs just for the assurance that ‘everything runs fresh’, even though I’ve done malware scans, and everything seems fine.

    Windows is pretty bad with handling CPU changes, and it can cause performance issues, but that’s about it. What they told you is wild and sounds like a projection of incompetency to me.

      Uh no it is not. Windows doesn’t give a flying fuck if you change CPU’s. At worst you do an sfc scan and reinstall your chipset drivers. Don’t know where you got that idea from.
