plugged the old 2TB drive into the Acer.New machine was ex-lease Acer I7 with SSD only, 16G RAM, GT730 video card old machine was Dell 8700 running Win10 Home, 2TB drive, 16G RAM.upgrade the Win10 installation to Win10 Pro retail.reboot and let plug-and-pray get the appropriate drivers for the new hardware.boot the new machine in safe mode, and use Device Manager to remove all the hardware devices that aren't present in the new machine.
use Macrium Reflect to clone the old disk onto another new one of the same or greater size.Would this work (and is this the right order to do things)? I'm very keen to avoid reinstallation of my applications.
I have a license for Win10 Pro retail for the new machine (the dead machine was Win10 Home OEM). I don't however, and I'm faced with building the new machine (non-Dell) from scratch and installing a ton of applications again. If I had identical replacement hardware, I could just physically transfer the existing disk and all would be well. I have a dead Dell computer where the cause of death did not involve or damage the hard drive. (this question is really a follow-on from this question)
