Question Transferring SSDs/HDDs from old pc to new?

[Sonorr]

Hey
So I think I know the answer, but everywhere I try to make sure the responders go off in the same direction, which is irrelevant for my situation.
My questions are:
1: can I use my old SSDs, HDDs without dataloss in a new PC?
2: can I use any programs installed on these? (VS Code and alike)

And the important notes:
None of these have windows in the current PC.
None of these will have windows in the new PC.
The new PC only ever had 1 other SSD in it, onto which windows has been installed
New PC obviously has enough sata sockets for the SSDs, HDDs .
My assumption would be 1:Yes, 2:With some hurdles.

Yes, you can use the SSD/HDD from an old rig in a new rig, especially if there is no Windows installed, but even then, that wouldn't be a showstopper.
As for the programs, unless you specifically change your registry to make the programs run from a different drive letter, Windows will think the path to <program name>.exe is C:\Program Files or C:\Programs Files (x86).

always do backup if you are worry about dataloss

Programs, with few exceptions, will have to be reinstalled, so make sure you have the original media and serial numbers handy.
