Hey all,
I have two desktops, one that I used and one that my wife uses. Hers does not have a ssd, just a normal hdd. My desktop has died and I want to move my ssd to her desktop.
What steps/equipment/software do I need to do this without 1) losing the information off my ssd, 2) losing the information off her hdd while converting my ssd into her boot drive and having the hdd currently there be just a storage device.
I realise this might require a 3rd drive to copy my stuff off the ssd before formating it? There's also a hdd in my desktop that I could use to transfer all the stuff from my ssd to.
My desktop doesn't boot at all (lightning strike on a nearby network node fried most stuff) so I need to shuffle all 3 drives using just one desktop.
semi-detailed instructions would be greatly appreciated as I have a general idea of what I need to do but I'm not 100% sure on all the steps so that no data gets lost and without having to reinstall windows.
Thanks in advance for any help
