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.

    don’t forget to not plug in the old hd. at least not untill after you have it booting up on the new drive since it can screw up a fresh install by changing drive letters around.
