After a clean install
I'm planning on a clean install of Win 10 to a new SSD. There's good info on that process in the forum....but I can't find out how to handle the old C: drive when a new C: (SSD) appears. I understand that when installing I should unplug all the drives except the SSD and the flash drive that contains Win10.
After I plug in the "old" C: drive again, will I have two boot drives? Will there be a conflict that I have to resolve? I also want to move programs and apps from the old C: drive to the new drive. Can I do that with a backup and restore that excludes the old Windows files?
I guess the nub of this is that I want to move the contents of an old drive except OS-related files, to a new drive that holds a clean install of the same OS. What traps are waiting for me?
