Transfering SSD with Windows 7 to New Build and using Windows 10

[MissJessika]

Hello,

I will be building a new System this Fall and was wondering if I can transfer my

Samsung - 850 EVO-Series 250GB 2.5" SSD (Boot Drive and OS)
Samsung - 850 EVO-Series 500GB 2.5" SSD (Data)

to the new system to save money?

One issue is that I use Windows 7 on my current System but will be buying the Win 10 License
for my new system.

Should I wipe both drives for a fresh everything install? I will back up important info on a Stick.

Thank you.

You can carry them over easy. Just wipe them and do a fresh install of 10.

Note you can probably upgrade your Window 7 to Windows 10 for free still. Microsoft never seemed to have actually turned off the free upgrade, they just stopped advertising it.

The physical drives? Sure.
During the install of Win 10, just delete all partitions on it and install 10.

Connect the secondary drive after the install is done.
