Moving SSD with windows 10 to a new build, will it work?

[michaelzlavender]

I am planning on moving my ssd from my current build(https://pcpartpicker.com/list/tKqmJV) to a new build(https://pcpartpicker.com/list/7qKdD2), will windows 10 boot properly without any issues, and if there are issues, what do I do?

It should work but I personally recommend a fresh install especially when changing out the whole system like that

The systems are close enough alike that Win should be able to struggle to the desktop by installing the new drivers it finds in its database. But you may have to re-activate the license.
When done, I'd run CCleaner to clean up the registry mess, and do a Win disk cleanup too. Then of course, install the latest drivers for your motherboard and gfx card.

Make you have a key to re-activate it if need be. Do your updates before the move to help with potential driver issues or download them beforehand but don't install.

There will likely be issues. Should always do a clean install of Windows moving motherboards.

Don’t think that cooler will cut it unless you are leaving it at stock:

Would look for something higher end.

While not terrible, the CXMs are very middling for such a nice system. Would look for evga g2/3 or seasonic focus plus gold.
