Hey Tommy, do you just move your old system disk to the new machine, and let Windows make adjustments for the drivers, or do you do a clean install?
I was thinking of running slmgr /upk before taking my current build apart, moving the system disk(M.2) to the new board and seeing of it boots,
OR...
The better choice, after running slmgr /upk, then run %windir%System32SysprepSysprep.exe
Choose ‘Enter System Out-of-Box-Experience (OOBE)’ for ‘System Cleanup Action’, select the check box ‘Generalize’, select ‘Shutdown Options’ as ‘Shutdown’ and click ‘OK’.
Then let the ‘System Preparation’ tool generalize now the Windows system setup and shutdown.
Then disassemble this system, build the new one, move the system disk to the new one.
Boot into Windows and let it now install the default drivers and update the system registry.
At last it boots finally into Windows and then I need to enter all necessary information as needed at the time of a fresh installation.
Create a user for the PC
, do not put the old user name as it already exists in the system.
The reason to create a temporary user, is for the purpose of completing the process.
Then I can log-on with the old user name choosing from the list at the log-on screen.
Windows now boots to default OOBE first boot desktop where all installed programs are there, also my old user profiles and folders as well.
Lastly, NOW I can
delete the temporary user profile that I have created earlier.
