Hello All,
I see different topics on this however none that exactly fit what I am trying to do (unless I looked over it on accident). Hopefully you will understand what I am asking....
I bought a new case and am upgrading from an ASUS H170-PRO/CSM to the ASUS ROG MAXIMUS VIII HERO Z170 ATX. Both are LGA1151. I am transferring my i7-7700k/cooler, GPU, RAM from my existing machine to my new build (all that'll be left in my old build is my case, old mobo & crappy SSD w/ Windows 10 and PSU).
I bought a NEW copy of Windows 10 and a Samsung EVO 250GB which I will be using as my boot drive.
Question I have is for my HDD:
In my current/old build. I have a 1 TB Hard Drive that has a ton of hours of videos/game installs/save files and launchers such as Steam, Origin, Battlestate. I would REALLY like to keep ALL of that stuff and am hoping I could just simply unplug from old machine and plug into new machine.... Is that possible? I mean its going from a ASUS H170 to a ASUS Z170. It will be x-fered into a new Windows 10 install.
I would prefer to not reformat bc I have about thousands of photos, hours of gameplay videos, a ton of games w save files on drive. Plus I'd have to buy another 1TB portable storage to even back this up in order to transfer it onto a clean install.
Thank you in advance!!!
