[SOLVED] Can I move my M.2 SSD into a new PC without having to reformat?

Hello,

I have an SSD that I need to a newer system that I purchased from iBuyPower (Pre-built).

Can I move my SSD from old system into the new system without needing to format it? I do not have Windows 10/OS installed on it. It is simply being used for steam games.

Thanks in advance!

Likely ok.
Just make certain that the m.2 slot on the new motherboard is compatible with your m.2 device.
Some slots are sata only, some are pcie, and some do both.

As a secondary drive, if the M.2 ports are compatible, should be no problem.
