Hi all,
Current laptop has my 2.5 inch 250gb ssd with Windows 10 pro on it and my files on it. It has 1 partition that houses both windows 10 pro and my personal files + 1 small partition called system reserved I think.
I intend to put my SSD into new laptop and reinstall windows 10 pro but don't want to lose any of my personal files.
If I use Windows usb installer which I downloaded earlier, is it possible to delete the current windows install which relates to my old laptop and then install windows again for the new laptop, all while not deleting any of my personal files. If this is possible is it a good idea, or should I just delete all the partitions on my SSD ?
I do have a backup of all my files but would rather leave my files on the drive if I could do this and still be able to install a fresh copy of windows for the new laptop, however if its just better to wipe away all the partitions I can do this.
Many Thanks.
