Hi,
My current hard drive configuration:
System (C – Windows 7
Media (E
Backup (F
Drives C & E are the same physical drive (Samsung SSD 860 EVO). WD Black HDD is drive F:
Since I need to upgrade to W10, my idea is to install W10 in a separate SSD (to be bought) and then copy all the data (except OS and apps) to it, unpartition the Samsung EVO and make it one single drive and copy again copy all the data (except OS and apps) to the Samsung EVO.
In the end I want to have this:
System (C – Windows 10 – New SSD
Libraries (D – Samsung EVO 860
Backup (E
I think this is all possible to be done easily. My concerns are:

I think this is all possible to be done easily. My concerns are:
- The drive letters. The new SSD can have the C letter if I previously disconnect the Samsung EVO 860 from the mobo?
- Booting from W10 will allow me to see the data in the other hard drives, despite one of them having W7 installed?
- I have already W10 USB bootable pen. Do you think Microsoft will detect a hardware change if at the time of W10 installation the HDD’s configuration is different from the one I had when the USB bootable media was created?
