Hello. I would like to change my motherboard, RAM and CPU after Ryzen 3000 series is launched.
There are many videos online about how to build a new PC, but only few for how to migrate from one to another PC.
I currently have 1 SSD (C Drive), and 3 HDDs (D Drive, E&F Drives, J&K Drives) and 2 external HDDs connected via USB at the back of my PC. Actually, my current PC is built by a technician. I don't really understand why my one drive is separate into D and E, and same for J and K. Also, back in the build of my current PC, he said that my Desktop, Downloads, Documents, those kinds of folders are set to stored in D Drive rather than C Drive. (Because I am afraid that the small SSD will run out space with more and more applications installed.)
After installing all the hardware (mobo, cpu, ram), and insert the USB (SD card also ok I guess?) for Win 10 installation, what should I do in order to ensure that my data is safely transferred to my new PC? Will my HDDs which are separated into 2 Drives get messed up and lose all the data? Do I need to do the partition thing while installing Windows? And how can I set Desktop, Downloads, Documents, those kinds of folders back in D drive as the technician did? And lastly, do I need to take care of the two external HDDs? Or just plug it back into the PC after everything is done?
Much thanks.
