I was overly focused on the upgrade and overlooked backing up the old SSDs. Can I remove all the data from them so I can reinstall Windows?

Is the storage protected with encryption such as BitLocker? If not, you should simply connect the drive to the new system and transfer all data. Should it be encrypted, you might need to revert the SSD to the previous setup, restart it normally, and then move data from there.

Please clarify whether you've already updated or reinstalled the operating system on the old SSD, or if you're considering transferring data before installing a new one. We need more information to assist properly.

Transfer the outdated files, particularly documents and similar items. It seems they're stored in Microsoft's reserved area, making direct access difficult.

The storage was set up using Microsoft Storage spaces in a virtual RAID. The old motherboard handled the RAID functionality.

You might also attempt to boot from that storage device; Windows could start even if it's connected to another motherboard or processor. Once inside Windows, you'll likely have several ways to transfer the data. If that doesn't work, simply restore your previous setup on the old system and restart from there. If neither solution succeeds, providing details about your current and previous configurations would assist in diagnosing the issue.
