I just tried that check: both the C: and D: drives in the existing PC are GPT. I don't yet know the motherboard details of the potential new PC, but I should be able to check today. Since it is, indeed, newer, I imagine it will be set to UEFI, so if I understand you correctly I should be able to simply put my current drives into the new machine and all will be well. Excellent.
When you say new if that means actually new like current new then it will be GPT and the drives will just go right in and work as is, as you stated that the drives are GPT.
Update: I'm happy to report that simply transplanting the two drives from my old PC into the newer one worked perfectly. Thanks again to everyone who offered help and advice.

I use a USB docking device and swap drives frequently. Every time I swap I must go into Disk Manager and rerereassign the same drive letter. Surely this isn't normal. How do I stop this behavior?
Hi there!

I have two SATA hot-swap drives that I alternate between each day for backups. When using Windows 7 I was able to assign the disks to g: and then after the initial assignment, windows would remember this and assign it to g: on each subsequent use.
