basically:

1. uninstall any drivers for your original hardware
2. run sysprep (with shutdown option)
3. plug your hard drive into new computer and boot!
4. go through setup

I very rarely comment online, but after viewing and following every step of your procedure. I'm overwhelmingly satisfied with the result of moving and installing my hard drive -> Windows 10 fully operational my new build. Although as suggested, I backed-up my data. It was not needed when windows smoothly booted and Wha-La everything was intact. Thank you for sharing!

I have swapped a hard drive without doing anything before and it still worked, but it’s risky if you want to keep all the programs, some may be lost.

Great guide! It went super smoothly. The hardest part was adding all the application to the task bar.

You sir, , are a legend. This has saved so much hassle! Thank you

How do I do this if my old computer is dead? I was able to take out the old HDD but I don't know how to clear out the drivers for my original hardware without my original computer working. Thank you!

Tutorial is incorrect, sysprep and OutOfBoxExperience are purely for telling your computer you want to run the windows first time start up wizard again, the way windows would behave if it was fresh "out of the box", it has nothing to do with prepping the hard drive to be removed from your current PC. All you have to do is delete any drivers that might cause conflicts like he did in this tut and make sure your windows activation is tied to your Microsoft account (as opposed to the hardware) so the activation will transfer with the hard drive and you don't have to do the dance of deactivating on one machine then activating on the other or worse yet having to enter your activation key. Windows 10 does a lot of the rest of the work for you automatically.

what if I want to plug in the hard drives from the new computer to the old one? i believe i should follow these same steps correct?

Should I keep my graphics card drivers. I’m going to be using the same graphics card.

im changing motherboard cpu ram and power suply and dont want to by a new key will this work for me

[SISTO_official]

Is it okay if you dont uninstall those programs you uninstalled around 3:00-4:00 because i still want to to use the computer, im just moving the programs and data over. If i uninstalled them the computer wouldn’t work anymore

This worked PERFECTLY for me! I upgraded my system from an i5-7600K, Gigabyte GA-Z270 Gaming K3 MB, GTX 1080 graphics card, and DDR4 memory. New system is Ryzen 7 7800X3D, GIGABYTE B650 AORUS ELITE AX AM5, AMD 7900XT, and DDR5 memory. Did the prework in your tutorial, moved my boot drive t my new system and booted right up. Glad you warned about it having you set up another system ID or I would have panicked. Restarted and logged into my old system ID and everything was just as I left it. I had AOMEI Backupper backup with universal restore as plan B, but didn't have to use it. THANKS!!

[jeremydejong]

this is the best tut on this i have found so far

[mattfrankman]

Great tutorial. All of the others involved mirrors, this is exactly what I needed. Thanks!

Just came here for the exact reason, tons of plugins on fl studio

[TheTrueKingJoffrey]

Just did this on my new build and works like a charm!
(As you also said, do not worry when windows asks you to create another account and opens with that profile. You can just login into your original one and delete the new one)

thank you very much man! stay safe

What if all drivers from old pc have not been deleted? What can it cause?

[nosleepjones]

So you can use this if you have a lot of files that you don't want to download all of them again for example I personally have a lot of games and software if I were to download it all again it would take weeks right?

[GigaChad-wdef]

so if ill use the same GPU and the drivers are already installed on my hdd all i have to do is move the hdd to the new computer? Bcs i dont have any other special drivers for rgb or fans.

I tried so hard to try and find a video like this mainly because it was hard to word such a thing to how i want but i finally found a video that explains everything, thank you SO much. I'm planning on building a beast of a gaming PC using the new 3070 when it drops and want all my data from my old PC that I'm using right now to watch this video to be transferred over to my new rig, that's including all my games, files, folders etc. (I am not re installing 10 games that take up at least 100 GB each. And this video explains just what i need, so again thanks man. It's going to help me out a lot!
