Yes, you can transfer your files and settings from the old HDD to the new SSD without any noticeable hardware changes. Just ensure the system is updated and use the appropriate backup tools to move data securely.

Avoid a fresh setup and reinstall your applications. https://www.howtogeek.com/224342/how-to-...indows-10/ Then transfer the files as if you were using a USB stick.

Based on the SSD you receive, they likely offer cloning tools. You can transfer your operating system drive onto the SSD and adjust the BIOS settings to prioritize booting from it. For instance, the Samsung Data Migration Tool is such an example.

Thank you for your assistance. I was aiming to be easy on myself and prefer a straightforward clean installation if any available.
