I have a pc with windows 10 and am currently building a new pc which will also use windows 10. I've heard its best to do a fresh install of windows on a new build but i really want my program installations, settings, save files, etc. On my new build with minimal fuss. My internet isn't great so having to manually download and instal everything again would be a huge pain.
I have other drives which i am moving directly to the new build since they arent my boot drives but i really dont want to risk anything going wrong with the boot drive such as driver conflicts or windows issues. Like i said i really want to keep everything on the boot drive pretty much how it is. I want it to still recognize installations on the other drives, still have any save files or settings etc. But I want a clean windows and to not risk any driver conflicts or anything like that. Ive built a few pcs before but i am far from an expert.
Is what I'm asking for possible? Does anyone have any advice?
