I am building a new PC. Currently I have W10 on my old 500gb M.2. I’m going to move to a 2tb Samsung M.2. And I plan to go with W11. Is there a way I can convert to Windows 11 fresh without having to go through the process of reinstalling all my programs? I know I can back some of them up. Programs like Vuze and iTunes.
I use software like Macrium Reflect to clone the 500GB drive to a 2TB drive and boot it into the New PC. You can upgrade it to Windows 11 fresh and not have to reinstall anything.
Go with Subrent Rocket SSD. Samsung 980/990 is kidding people with health issues. As a personal experience, take your time and reinstall everything from scratch.
