Im currently using a Samsung 840 series SSD as my boot/windows drive (Win10 x64). I would like to upgrade it to a more recent SATA ssd, but i cant face reinstalling everything - my DAW setup has a lot of plugins and takes about 8 hours of installs to get everything working correctly, and i just cant face it.
Would it be possible for me to simply drag copy everything off my boot drive to the new disk, dismount the old SSD, remount the new one as C drive, then get Windows10 to rebuild the boot code so that it becomes a bootable disk?
Is there a way of transferring my existing windows/apps/games build to a new disk without reinstalling everything?
(i5-3470 @ 4gig, z77 motherboard, GTX980 - ancient system but still gets 60fps on Farcry 5 @ 1080i)
