Transfer

I’m giving a family member my old notebook, to replace hers, and I have 2 questions: - First, I want to do a full format on my machine’s m.2 ssd. Can I do it on the notebook itself? Or should I transfer it to my PC in order to run a format on disk manager? Do I risk anything with my notebook’s...

Good morning. I was wondering if I could get some suggestions on the best software to migrate specific software / settings to a new hard drive? In the past, I would just use EaseUS to copy everything over, but this time I would like to be able to select what I want to move instead of a 100%...

When backing up MSIAfterburner files, is it a bad idea to transfer your MSIAfterburner.cfg and Profile.cfg files which had previous undervolt settings to a new laptop with a different GPU? Will the undervolt settings not apply because it detects a new GPU? What if this GPU was the same exact...

Hey fellas, so recently I finally undertook the task of reinstalling Windows 10 Pro on another drive, specifically a Samsung 970 EVO M.2 NVMe 250 GB SSD. I've been planning to do this for a while, since I've had Windows 10 on an old 1 TB HDD for the longest time I wanted to have faster boot...

Hey, i've got a question. I really need to transfer 200GB of data from one pc to another, and was thinking what would be the fastest way to do that. I thought about transfering through an app like teamviewer or just straight up transfer via LAN, but would that be fast? Thank you!

It's been a while since I've noticed some of my internal HDDs are not performing as well as I think they should. I've decided to copy the same set of files to the same HDD on clean boot: once directly on my mobo SATA and once on my USB docking station. On the docking station the whole transfer...

Hi, I noticed that the quick access folders for documents, pictures, downloads, videos etc are all located on my HDD drive (for storage) rather than my OS drive. Does this mean I still have old windows components (files and folders) on my HDD (I used this for my OS before I bought an SSD. I...

I'm sorry if this is a wrong forum but I can't google anymore. Please help me. I need explanation for dummies. I'm probably smart enough (IQ-wise) to follow detailed instructions, but I don't understand anything about how anything works. I have a 5 years old laptop with a HDD disk. I never used...

Does enabling XMP save on the memory itself? What I mean is, if I were to enable XMP on the memory and then move it to another system would XMP still be enabled? I’m sure the answer to this question is no but I want an extra opinion.

I'm thinking of replacing my HDD with SSD. Can I first transfer my game files from old HDD to my C: drive and then install new SSD and after that copy the game files from C: drive to my new SSD? Will my game works as usual by doing like this or I need to do other process? If I need to, how do I...
