Hello, your old XPS laptop is nearing the end of its life. You're currently transferring files from the C drive to a new hard drive, including program files and x86 binaries. I'm curious if you can move these copied files onto a blank SSD and start booting directly from it. Also, are there alternative approaches that might work better since the old drive is failing?
You can clone the C drive to another storage device using tools like Macrium Reflect or similar cloning software. The resulting drive should be bootable from the new location.
As mentioned earlier, you might want to clone the drive, though clones often cause issues. A fresh installation with important files or games would be much preferable.
