Question Installing NVMe M.2 SSD w/ OS in Another Computer

[tennengr]

I have an older computer that I am dismantling for parts and it has a Samsung 970 EVO 500GB NVMe M.2 SSD with Windows 10 on it. I want to use it for another drive in my newer computer and do not care what is on it. Will there be problems if I just install it in the newer computer? It would be installed on the M2_3 location on an MSI MEG X570 Unify motherboard.

If this is not to be the OS drive in the new system, no problem.

Just make sure you don't boot from it.
Go into Disk Management, and delete all existing partitions on it.
Reformat, and use as desired.

Thanks ... kinda figured that but was unsure with the old OS on it.
