I have two tasks I need to tackle today. I’m looking for assistance with them. Problem 1: I’m planning to upgrade my PC soon, likely this week. I’ve been using a Windows 10 virtual machine with the streaming software. Unfortunately, even though Windows 10 offers a custom deployment feature, it doesn’t function properly when I run the commandLine. Would it be possible to use Macrium Reflect to generate an exact .iSO file? This could let me run it as an installer or boot directly from a physical drive, reducing downtime. Problem 2: I recently purchased an ASUS ROG Strix X470 that supports M.2. I’d like advice on a high-quality 1TB M.2 SSD suitable for my main operating system drive. While I currently use WD Blue HDDs, I’m considering switching to an SSD for faster boot times since the OS and programs load into RAM. Alternatively, I could keep using HDDs for the OS but store editing software and plugins on an SSD for quicker access. I also want to ensure the SSD matches the board type correctly.

What amount are you planning to invest? What purpose will it serve? I can check a 970 evo and a 660p. You can create a tailored ISO, though setting everything up individually often takes longer than generating a ready-made installation file with all your programs.

I understand M.2 SSDs can be expensive, but we can aim for a budget of $100 to $299. I’d likely use video editing software such as Vegas Pro 16 with its plugins on the SSD for quicker loading and editing, plus FL Studio 20 with all its VSTs. Making a custom .iSO would take some time, but I’m available to help. You just need a guide on using Macrium Reflect to create one.

then you need a 970 evo macrum reflect, it doesn't create an iso file for general use—it's meant for imaging. To build a custom iso, use tools like ntlite to generate an image file. Alternatively, simply reinstall the system or clone it onto the new drive if you prefer not to reinstall.

Yes, you can capture a snapshot of your virtual machine and then restart it on the upgraded system.

you can, but there is a good change it won't boot due to the different drives and boot loaders needed. Normally a fresh install is the way to go.

Looks like my Twitch following might be gone, and I was trying to skip the hassle by not installing as much.

It takes about 2 to 3 hours for a fresh setup and app installation. Streaming continuously isn't possible. A clone might be an option, but I recommend against it.

I came across a YouTube video showing someone using RT Seven Lite to pre-load programs and drivers. It helped me realize that while I don’t stream often, my media-heavy setup and slow HDD installations caused a lot of waiting time.

You have the ability to proceed, though setting up a clear image requires some time. I suggest testing two systems for a short period to ensure smooth program installation on the new setup.
