upgrading from an intel 4690k platform to a new r5 5600x and b550 mobo setup is planned for the weekend. I’m seeking guidance on reinstalling windows 10. I’ve gathered some YouTube videos and articles but am unsure if everything is set up correctly. I created a BIOS flashback for the b550 mobo using a USB drive, downloaded a Windows 10 installation kit from Microsoft’s site, and backed up my data onto a separate SSD with enough space (600GB). For the first boot, I intended to connect only the 250GB SATA SSD containing the OS and proceed through the setup wizard to erase everything and start fresh. Does this approach make sense? Should I use the same drive as the backup for restoring programs? Also, if I wanted to switch to a new NVMe SSD as the primary drive later, would it be best to do that now or save it for another time? Thanks in advance!

You have the operating system on one hard drive and wish to transfer it to another. Simply start the computer using the drive with the OS, then employ a migration utility to relocate it to your new storage device. New drives are available at no cost.

Transferred to Windows *** A fresh setup will require reinstalling most programs. Unless you saved a system image as a backup, you might restore it later. What exactly are you asking about the Windows installer? Did you purchase a USB drive or create one using Media Creation Tool? Lastly, I’d prefer to proceed now. Transferring drives with an OS installation can be tricky.
