Transition from a RAID5 to a NAS Windows 7 client PC

I have a Windows 7 PC with a System HDD and then a 4 disk 3TB RAID5. Everything is stored on that RAID5 such as my desktop, documents, music, settings, etc.

Im moving all of that to a NAS (and WS2012R2 storage spaces or something similar). When I move that, my PC will complain about missing paths and such.

How would you go on about this transition?

Thank you
 
Well, I wouldn't, entirely. Putting your entire user directory on a network drive is suboptimal in many cases, so I'd probably go to the trouble of splitting up my stuff and fixing paths where needed.

But you could just map the share on the NAS to the drive letter currently occupied by the local storage. Then paths would be the same.

You could also use Symbolic Links. That might be better, actually.
