Changing platform
Hello! You're planning a PC upgrade and want to transfer your SSD from the old machine to the new one. Since you agreed to install a new 1TB HDD with the buyer, you’ll need to prepare your current SSD properly before moving it. Make sure to use a bootable USB with W10 and link your Microsoft account. To completely erase everything on your SSD, you should format it using Samsung Magician Software before any installation steps. This ensures a clean slate for the new OS.
Please switch to a completely different platform. It’s recommended to reinstall Windows, create a bootable USB drive, boot from it, and then format the existing drives before installing on your preferred system.
Yes, you can remove the SSD from the old PC and install it on your new system. Just skip wiping the drive beforehand. Follow the steps I outlined for installation.
Absolutely! It’s quite clear, you could even start it with the old Windows, though it’s not recommended. Begin by booting from the USB drive containing the installation files—one of the earliest versions you’ll see will display all installed drives. You can then format them all and choose which one to install on a brand new system.
