Yes you can, but make sure that old hard drive doesn't have viruses and when you booting up your computer select Windows 10 not Windows Vista.

It should see it least in Disk Manager if Windows doesn't like seeing it.
You can manage it there and essentially 'import' it into Windows since it is already formatted.
Manually delete all unecessary folders (games/apps) as Uninstalling them isn't possible.

If it's sata, there will be no problems. If it's older than that you will need some sort of adapter or external usb connected dock. If the photos are important to you, I would make a copy of the HDD as well.

It is a Sata, the 1TB HDD Storage Drive is only about 4 months old. I was most likely going to copy as much as i could to flash drives, but wanted to know if anyone could give me a realistic expectation of this just working with no data loss. Old desktop has a 250GB HDD as OS drive, new one will be using a SSD as the OS boot and application drive. Just want to "plug and play" the 1TB HDD storage drive......feeling a little more confident with all ur suggestions.
