Im just going to write my questions in a list. Thank you in advance for anyone who took the time to help.
If I drag and drop the C drive from one computer to the other, or to a flash drive, will that be it? What other sections of the computer would need to go with it (im wondering about the My Documents folder as well)?
If I drag and drop the C drive, that drags a lot of Windows 10 programs to a Windows 11 computer. Will that cause issues?
Are there any precautions or anything Im missing? Thank you.
It won’t work that way. If you want the exact copy of whole windows and all working programs, you will need to clone drive. There are few programs that could do that, but since I am using only hardware cloning I couldn’t say which one to use (maybe make new post about best cloning program for windows).
Another problem with that is difference in hardware, which will most likely make windows to deactivate. If you have license tied to your ms account, maybe it is transferrable, if it is OEM license, you will have to figure something about that.
Ah ok. Well, that sounds way more difficult than I thought it would be, so ill just start from scratch on my new pc.
