I just built a PC (frankensteined from of two other PCs and some scraps). I was having an issue with the SSD I was trying to use as my local drive, so I ended up having to us an HDD. It’s not terrible, but definitely noticable. I’ve done a fair bit of setup, and I don’t really want to have to do it all again on a new SSD. Is there a way to sort of just drop Windows as is onto another drive? It’s mostly just programs and settings, but I have a 2nd drive with some Steam games on them, while Steam is installed on the local drive. I don’t mind if I have to redownload games, but I really don’t want to have to do it all over again if I can avoid it. Thanks.
There are paid softwares that will allow you to do it- I know that EaseUs has a pretty decent tool called Partition Manager (or now apparently called Partition Master) that will be able to copy your boot disk over to a new drive and make it bootable. I am sure that others exist as well- I just haven’t used them personally.
