[SOLVED] Saving files from old hdd and ssd

[- sam -]

My old mobo died and I'm in the process of buying a new system with it's own new ssd.

The problem I have now I have extremely important files located on my old hdd and ssd. How would I go about getting hold of this to transfer to an external or to my new pc.
Is it difficult and can it be done?

Connect old drives to new system and access data.
You'll need appropriate cables to connect 2.5"/3.5" drives and free M.2 slot for M.2 drive (if you have any).

Is it really as easy as that? I can buy a specific cable and the drives will show within windows 10 like an external drive?

You can just reuse sata cables from your old pc.
Old drives will show as internal drives.

Wow. That's a relief. Even if the ssd has os on it?

That's not a problem.
Just have to make sure, boot order in BIOS doesn't change after connecting old drives.

Ok will it 100% ask me to change when turning on the pc? Or can my pc be on and I just plug it in already?

Pc has to be turned off, when connecting internal drives.
There will be no "asking".
You 'll have to enter BIOS manually and check boot order.
