I am considering purchasing and installing a new Samsung 970 EVO (500GB) SSD. I intend to use the M.2 socket on my mobo, which is an Asus Z170-E.
Because Microsoft upgraded my Windows 7 to Windows 10 a couple years ago, I do not have a Windows 10 installation disk, and so I am quite worried about migrating my current c: drive to the new Samsung 970 EVO.
I know that the Samsung SSD is bundled with something called Samsung "Magician" software (or something similar). The "Magician" software is supposed to be capable of migrating the Windows 10 OS to the new blank SSD, but does it actually work? I've read some comments in the past that this software is troublesome.
Anyone have hands-on with doing the Windows 10 migration to a Samsung SSD? Any problems or things to be concerned about? If something goes wrong during the migration process, I would be in trouble because I do not have a Windows 10 installation disk.
