basically:
1. uninstall any drivers for your original hardware
2. run sysprep (with shutdown option)
3. plug your hard drive into new computer and boot!
4. go through setup
You got it 👍
my new pc still want to boot up with the HDD inside
@@SoundDesignTutorials Can i skip to step 3 then go into blue screen of death and from there choose to install it from scratch?
Tim 72 i think
If I have windows installed on my ssd do I put that in instead and boot up?
I very rarely comment online, but after viewing and following every step of your procedure. I'm overwhelmingly satisfied with the result of moving and installing my hard drive -> Windows 10 fully operational my new build. Although as suggested, I backed-up my data. It was not needed when windows smoothly booted and Wha-La everything was intact. Thank you for sharing!
This will not delete my windows right? PLS REPLY

did it?
Do you set up the new pc the way you would normally
Great guide! It went super smoothly. The hardest part was adding all the application to the task bar.
Great tutorial. All of the others involved mirrors, this is exactly what I needed. Thanks!
Been looking for a tutorial like this for a while, well explained and easy to follow, helped me a lot. Thanks :)
This is exactly what I'm wanting to do. My brother has given me a computer that is an upgrade as far as performance from the one I'm using now for recording. Thank you so much for making this very helpful video. Wishing you all the best!
Thank you very! I'm making a new build and was hoping I didn't have to. Thank you for saving me so much time!
Thanks for this video, it's just the info I needed for when I build a new PC later this year. Much appreciated.
You sir,, are a legend. This has saved so much hassle! Thank you
Just did this on my new build and works like a charm!
(As you also said, do not worry when windows asks you to create another account and opens with that profile. You can just login into your original one and delete the new one)
thank you very much man! stay safe
Followed the advice with great success, also changed the activation to my Microsoft account and it worked perfectly. I did need the activation code so make sure you have it. Thanks so much for your video.
Great video, I have two Photo editing programs with a lot of settings that took me months to get set up correctly. Your explanation and very precise info on your experience in changing computers is very much appreciated.
Did it worked?
life saver. worked perfectly. Had several crashes due to incompatible drivers . So i had to manually uninstall and reinstall some drivers. Thought I got rid of most of it but some were intel based . I had to uninstall and reinstall my graphics card drivers although it was the same card. that was a huge pain. Thanks a lot. Cant believe im using my pc the way it was on my old one.
this is the best tut on this i have found so far
As far as I can tell this is the only Tutorial for this on UA-cam. All the others tell you how to clone your drive, not how to move it around!
Man... Thank you so much!!!!! I've easily spent over $10k on music software since my last studio workstation build 10 years ago. I was absolutely terrified of losing anything. This video is absolutely career (and marriage) saving!
ElectronGalaxyLP?
Actually worked like a charm. Thank you kindly for this.
Thanks for a great, detailed video tutorial! Keep up the good work!
I like your method in preparing the hard drives for the newer machine! Nicely done! 😊
I have swapped a hard drive without doing anything before and it still worked, but it’s risky if you want to keep all the programs, some may be lost.
Sound Design Tutorials I everything that needed to be done but the thing is my new computer is already set up so how do I have my hard drive working
if I am buying a new motherboard because my old one went out and I can no longer access the desktop or the display at all. when I get a new motherboard will I need to get a new hard drive or am I able to to use my old one?
If it's the same motherboard, it should work okay. It it's different, it might work but be a little screwed up (in terms of which programs will work). There's to harm in trying.
I tried to set up without uninstalling anything and there's an annoying sign that a says; "insert boot devise and press any key". I don't know what to do.
mouthtomouth33 did you figure out what to do? My motherboard shit itself. So i wasnt able to back up or delete anything. So i just bought a new one that is completely different than my old one and now im scared to plug in my old hdd
I tried so hard to try and find a video like this mainly because it was hard to word such a thing to how i want but i finally found a video that explains everything, thank you SO much. I'm planning on building a beast of a gaming PC using the new 3070 when it drops and want all my data from my old PC that I'm using right now to watch this video to be transferred over to my new rig, that's including all my games, files, folders etc. (I am not re installing 10 games that take up at least 100 GB each. And this video explains just what i need, so again thanks man. It's going to help me out a lot!
Did you ever get that RTX 3070?
Yes same
This worked PERFECTLY for me! I upgraded my system from an i5-7600K, Gigabyte GA-Z270 Gaming K3 MB, GTX 1080 graphics card, and DDR4 memory. New system is Ryzen 7 7800X3D, GIGABYTE B650 AORUS ELITE AX AM5, AMD 7900XT, and DDR5 memory. Did the prework in your tutorial, moved my boot drive t my new system and booted right up. Glad you warned about it having you set up another system ID or I would have panicked. Restarted and logged into my old system ID and everything was just as I left it. I had AOMEI Backupper backup with universal restore as plan B, but didn't have to use it. THANKS!!
I just realized I never commented here on this method... it worked so well for me. I am just rewatching as a reminder of how to do it again. Like a brain transplant for your computer, just move your OS drive to the new box and go.
I just moved the SSD to new new PC, activated Windows with my key, updated BIOS and Windows. Worked like a charm.
Worth mentioning that i moved from an MSI MOBO to a newer MSI MOBO
WORKED PERFECTLY THANK YOU!!
Thanks a lot, saved me a tone of time.
This is a lifesaver. Thank you.
Hi. Thanks for this Video. Watched it a few times and then took the leap and used sysprep to move my SSD 1TB into a newer laptop with a larger SSD. Windows did ask me to create a new user account but didn't ask me for my Key. After a re-boot I could log in with my original user account and my desktop looked identicle. Task Bar Icons were missing but that's no biggie!
I did install DriverMax which identified 20 required/updated drivers for the hardware in my newer Laptop. Well worth the 30 day sub of £8 just to get the job done. I'm going to look for a tool to uninstall the remaining redundant drivers I missed pre-sysprep.
Thanks for sharing your experiences and making mine a lot easier. Respect.
Thank you for a great explanation, need to try this method on a new computer I'm getting as my CPU in my old one has just died. Hoping for the best.
Thank you for this video! Definitely about to check out some more video from you! #subscribed 💪💪
Thanks mate, exactly what i needed
Great vid man
Thank you! It will help me a lot.
Tutorial is incorrect, sysprep and OutOfBoxExperience are purely for telling your computer you want to run the windows first time start up wizard again, the way windows would behave if it was fresh "out of the box", it has nothing to do with prepping the hard drive to be removed from your current PC. All you have to do is delete any drivers that might cause conflicts like he did in this tut and make sure your windows activation is tied to your Microsoft account (as opposed to the hardware) so the activation will transfer with the hard drive and you don't have to do the dance of deactivating on one machine then activating on the other or worse yet having to enter your activation key. Windows 10 does a lot of the rest of the work for you automatically.
My MOBO failed but my Win 7 Pro SSD is fine. I tried booting it from a new PC but it fails. Any suggestions?
Never seen this method, thank you for sharing.
brilliant guide mate
Thanks mate really helped me out :)
This will not delete my windows right? PLS REPLY
Nice the only video that i find on youtub to learn hou to do this
That's great. Will be trying that tonight
Great tutorial 👌
whats up brother, quick question if I remove my HD drive that does not contain my OS or any hardware related drivers or any drivers at all. (That does contain all my sound samples and VST Plugins, so basically a storage drive for production) and plug it into my new laptop so i dont have to reinstall all my plugins / kits it should work with ease correct, all my files and everything should be there? Thank you in advance.
You really helped me out.
Just came here for the exact reason, tons of plugins on fl studio
i lost all my flps,im so fucked 15 years work
@@1988kuriakos nice
Thanks man, I have my first new build coming next week, I will be trying this 100%. I basically want exactly what you've shown to happen for me, then I want to then clone the drive with the new setup to my new hard drive I purchased...My question is should I clone to the new hard drive first or should I do it after and also before I doing the process what do you suggest for backing up the original hard drive? Thanks for your time.
this is really helful ty!
so if ill use the same GPU and the drivers are already installed on my hdd all i have to do is move the hdd to the new computer? Bcs i dont have any other special drivers for rgb or fans.
Welcome back. This is Focks...LOL
What if I haven’t done anything thing and don’t have another computer to do it will it be fine?
Came here just to give a thumbs up :)
Thanks Nate, this video isn't much use to you though being a Mac user.. No easy upgrades for you 😂
SDT Indeed ! I figured id stop by none the less ;)
thank you so much sir
hey man all you had to say was sysprep haha. appreciate your insight, looking forward to migrating once all my new components are in
Do a video of how to “delete the new user name that it makes you create when installing the Hdd in the new computer”.
Thank you for this great tutorial, I built a new pc and needed to transfer my hard drive over to it, and it worked great.
Did anyone have to create a new user account profile? I did, as you said in the video. How do I remove it and also the drivers for my previous motherboard please? Thanks again.
Question/comment: a few days ago I tried a simple swap from my old pc to a brand new pc. It didn’t work. Told me no os found. Failure. I’m doing a new build from scratch and wonder if I should try it again or go with this method. I use windows 10 enterprise version. Any helps appreciated.
Thank you 🙏🏼 one subscriber for you
did you do the moveing data from another drive that has win on it like you sead in video
hi. do you have to re-activate any plugins or programs with that method? I've heard that some programs registered with pc hardwares which is called hard hardware-id
Great video thank you for sharing.
If you have data on another drive on your pc and if you still have the drive just add it with the same name and drive letter and it will recognize it.
If the music is calling for a drive you had on your old pc could you not add the drive again with the same drive letter and name? It should work I think.
hey, if i move my hardrive that i had on my old pc on my new one will it still work
I have two hdd's in mirror raid. Does this affect this process? I will be putting them in a new build with different motherboard, processor, and ram. I will be using the same graphics card.
Will this work if the new computer already has windows installed and so does the old hard drive?
what if I want to plug in the hard drives from the new computer to the old one? i believe i should follow these same steps correct?
Probably the same. See it as moving the hard drive to "another computer" new or old
im changing motherboard cpu ram and power suply and dont want to by a new key will this work for me
mason fuckcancer did you buy oem windows 10?
Dude thanks for the great video, jumped from a 3rd gen i5 to a Ryzen 2600 and I was so worried about saving my stuff
Did it work for you?? I'm about to swap out my i7 for a ryzen, new mobo and ram etc.
Nibiru420 yea man, was real easy, now my Windows was an absolute nightmare to re activate but yea this workwd
@@itmaniscrazy K ty for the fast reply, yea im going to a 2600 too from intel and trying to figure out all this stuff before the parts come. Thanx again and hope you enjoy that new 2600!
Nibiru420 np mate and I hope you do too, if you have any temp reading programs be prepared for them to tel you the pc is 100 degrees, fresh instal them or get a new one. Happy to help man
Nibiru420 also sorry for the poor grammar I am typing on my phone
The oobe can be bypassed easily by creating a provisioning package using Windows Image Configuration Designer that comes with the adk.
thanks worked
im thinking of since i have a 4 tb external drive to move a copy of my all old shit and then clean the whole old drive and put it in my soon new build /// good idea??
Hello, I've got a quite complicated situation.. My friends did a full reset on his pc (an old dell vostro with I5 2400) and then the USB keyboard and mouse stopped working as soon as windows boots up and he stays blocked at the configuration for windows first boot.. (It works in the bios but no USB legacy mode, and no ps/2 connectors on the motherboard...) basically he's blocked and he can't install the keyboard/mouse drivers because he can't get into windows.
I have a PC, recent motherboard, I7 7700K, if I boot up my pc with his hdd (no drivers installed on his windows yet so it should boot up without conflict?) and then install his keyboard and mouse drivers, then delete any motherboard drivers and then put it back into his pc, the keyboard and mouse would work?
Thanks for your video !
I'm gonna be trying this today, installing a ASrock B350 Fatality board / Ryzen .. replacing a FX-8320 and an Asus 970 Pro Gaming. This looks like it's gonna be good help, I appreciate it. I'll comment on how it goes for me.
How’d it go?
I followed SDT's steps and took a tip from another video.. it worked perfectly. New Ryzen 1600x , DDR4 ram opposed to ddr3, same gpu, sapphire nitro rx480 gb, ... the B350 Fatality mobo has a specific boost for that card... I don't know if it's ASRock's patent or something in bios.. but after updating it (one past the bios it shipped with) there is an option that says "Sapphire Boost" .. same 3 hard drives.. it might as well been seemless... good look SDT. Helpful vid.
Coincidence dude, I have the same motb and cpu
I can't remember now if anything with the activation changed...I wanna say it wasn't, I'm about 95% sure on that. There has been a major Win 10 update since I swapped them out.
When I rebuild my Toolbar, I just drag them from the START menu. Did you mean they weren't in the START menu anymore?
Just checking, but will this work with any Retail edition of Windows 10? My laptop uses a Retail windows 10 version, and I want to migrate the drive to my new build. Will this work? Thanks!
I know this is old, but did you have to go and download all the new drivers for your new motherboard once it booted to desktop or did the PC take care of that on the initial boot? Thanks in advance.
Ok,so i exactly did as mentioned in the video. Now when I installed the HDD into my new PC it won't boot up properly. It would ask me to select language, timezone and other stuff. Then it blacks out and the process starts again. Any help?
I have a z270 board with a i7 7700k with OS on 2- m.2s in raid zero. I want to go with the i9 9900k, so I need a z390 board. is there a way for this to work when my old computer is on raid zero? can I copy everything to a external hardrive, then wipe the m.2s clean and put the m.2s in the new board and bring back the OS from the external hhd?
Sysprep doesn't bring over your user info because it was created for cloning larger deployments back when the internet was much slower and/or creating preconfigured resale units. At least that is what we had used it for... I'm surprised activation carries over without an enterprise license. Very cool.
So you can use this if you have a lot of files that you don't want to download all of them again for example I personally have a lot of games and software if I were to download it all again it would take weeks right?
could you just use sysprep to wipe all drivers or do you have to wipe bluetooth and graphics first?
welcome back its fucks
lmaooo thats what i thought to
Is it okay if you dont uninstall those programs you uninstalled around 3:00-4:00 because i still want to to use the computer, im just moving the programs and data over. If i uninstalled them the computer wouldn’t work anymore
What if all drivers from old pc have not been deleted? What can it cause?
So if the old windows 10 license transfers over to the new pc build does it get removed from the old one? Dont want any weird duplicate license.
Thanks Alot
I'm trying to upgrade my PC, but I work at home and I absolutely need to preserve my work account. It has work tools and other such things set up which I can not lose.
Is it a account? (Logged into a app or a internet website) or is it something you downloaded?
@@hjarsen7296 it's a windows account
I'm in the same boat :(
Did the motherboard change only, and lost my digital license.
I'm afraid of this video because I'm not into computers...if something gows wrong I'm not sure how to fix it.
If i have the same software on both pcs should i delete it on the old hard drive.
Cheers for that
Do I need to uninstall UHD onboard graphic and intel related software before move? My cpu on new pc will be i9-10900K and current is i7-8700K
Should I keep my graphics card drivers. I’m going to be using the same graphics card.
WildWill yes
@@zzzomitted reinstalling video drivers is a pretty painless process nowadays, just uninstall and reinstall using ddu or some other tool
@@zzzomitted Display Driver Uninstaller, a great tool if you find your computer crashing because of a bad driver uninstall. Most of the time you dont have to use it but if you keep getting BSODs because of a graphics card issue it will seek out any trace of the old graphics card driver and destroy it. Has saved my computer more than once from nvidias bad installers
I’ve moved my ssd to my new computer before I did all of this so I was wondering if I did the same thing but instead of moving it I could power the pc on again?
Thanks, operating systems are ridiculously expensive. They should be like 20 bucks a piece.
Check Opium Pulse. Cheap OS there

@@xkickzyt thx
@@SVB089 XDDDDDDD
you buy win 10 tf it doesnt even need to be purchased for it to be functional
How do I do this if my old computer is dead? I was able to take out the old HDD but I don't know how to clear out the drivers for my original hardware without my original computer working. Thank you!
Yep same boat
you need to put it in a working pc an do this steps
so all im doing is just swapping my mobo and a cpu so do i just go and delete my chipset drivers and sata ethernet cont etc ? or will "oobe" do that for me
I’m trying to do that too soon, any tips for that
this is so helpful. Gamer tutorials don't ever understand why people would need to keep their windows 10 for music data and softwares
Your tutorial saved me a tonne of trouble and dead braincells. You were straight to the point and I'm glad to have crossed your videos.
Thank you so much!
does it keep steam games installed and the saved data for those games.
Lesson learned: UPDATE YOUR BIOS
Prepped everything and when i went to launch...nothing worked. Microsoft couldnt help, so i ended up getting a activation code and downloading it onto a zip. Then when that did not work, I knew something was up. I needed to updtate my BIOS. As soon as I did. My activation key worked. I tried my ssd in my old pc again and it instantly went to start windows 10. I have no doubt it i would have updated my BIOS first, this would have worked for me.
Good advice.. You should always update your bios regularly, be it on a new build or existing one 👌
All this make me wonder If I just configure windows to run at safe mode and boot on new computer from safe mode, will it just be enough?
im about to move my Nvme from a b450 to a b550 and wondering is this an ssd ur talking about????? and if anything would u have
a vid about switcing ssd,s
So i followed your steps to prep for a new build, but my new computer's bios can't boot from the ssd. It just sits in there and new ssd is 1st priory in boot prefer. Not sure what to do? Am I missing a simple step to start in bios? Send help, thanks!
dont hate me if this sounds dumb, nut all i want is windows to transfer, is it not possible to just move my SSD (in my case its a ssd) to the new PC and when its all set up the do a clean reinstall of the OS? thanks for help
If I’m using the same GPU can I keep the drivers? Nm lol he answered it in the vid straight after
