Hey, I see your issue. You need a way to transfer the old HDD to the new one without having to search for drivers yourself. One option is to clone the drive using free software like Clonezilla or Macrium Reflect. These tools can copy the entire storage setup, including files and settings, so you can keep all your pictures and documents intact. Another approach is to use a bootable USB drive with the necessary utilities to perform the cloning process. This way, you can ensure everything works smoothly on the new system.
It really does seem a bit slow. Downloading the latest drivers can take around five minutes, especially during a PC setup. You should aim to obtain the most recent version to ensure bug fixes and new features are included. If you share the model name and details, I can provide you with the appropriate links.
I truly didn’t feel the need to install the drivers or move files, but I still had to download them.
