So,
I have a notebook with a SSD (Samsung EVO 512GB) and on it are my data and Win10.
Soon I will get a new notebook, with SSD (Samsung EVO 256GB) and HDD1000 GB and Win10,
I thought I could use the SSD from the old notebook with the
HDD from the new notebook swap and would automatically have access to my data.
However, I would then have 2 SSD's with Win10 above.
Can I evlt. Someone say if that would be possible?
Is there possibly a conflict? Or is the SSD not recognized? Or something like that?
Should not be a problem, you can yes in the boot manager and in the BIOS to select the device from which to boot
No problem.
Just have to get a new key for your "old" SSD because the Windows is not activated there.
In addition, it may happen that you have to reinstall the Windows because it probably will not run on your new notebook… Incompatible (presumably).
If one disk is swapped for another in the computer, what is the change in the BIOS? Thank you.
If there are two disks in the PC then what should I do?
Unfortunately, the questioner is not able to say how many disks are final in the computer - not to mention the partition scheme.
BIOS - boot options-name of the disk to select which is to be booted, which are not all the same
This will hardly work properly!
Most of the drivers from the old notebook will not work with the new one, so they would have to be reinstalled.
Possibly. Will not start the 512GB SSD in the new notebook - exceptions confirm the rule! Sometimes it only starts in safe mode.
For notebooks / laptops, the product keys are often stored in the BIOS / UEFI, as you would need on the new notebook then (probably) another product key for the SSD with the old Windows.
One factor that should not be neglected is the data security on SSDs.
The data on HDDs can be read even in a defective state mostly on SSDs i.d.R. Not.
That is, if the mind gives up, usually everything that was stored there's gone. So far, I know (and I fix many computers) no exception!
Therefore, the 2nd disk should always be an HDD on which you store the data, or at least make regular backups of the data on the SSD.
Sinnvollst solution would therefore be to completely flatten the 512GB SSD to clone the small plate from the new notebook on it (something I always do with Clonezille - there are plenty of Youtube videos) and the 1000 GB HDD to build as a data grave.
