I own a pc that is about 3 years old that came with a with 1TB (WD) internal hard. About 9 months ago i added a seagate 4TB 5400 RPM internal drive to it (after complete format and using GPT partitioning with windows on the 1TB).
I am now buying a new computer with a 120GB SSD + 1TB internal hard with the OS on the SSD.
I intend to install the OS with UEFI support under GPT partitioning on my new machine (same settings as the old one).
I now want to get my data on the seagate 4TB to my new computer but i dont own sufficiently large external hard capacity to transfer it through that way.
So my question is whether i can simply plug my seagate 4TB to the new machine and access my data without having any problems(Eg- having to format the 4TB drive)?
NOTE
The seagate 4TB drive is partitioned into roughly 2 2TB partitions protected with bitlocker and almost 75% full ( on windows installation interface, the hard does show another small sized reserve partition about 16MB)
This hard does not contain ANY OS INSTALLATIONS, just a lot of movies and tv series.
