I know this question might sound stupid to some of you, but I have a samsung 860 evo in a system and I want to put it in a new one I'm building. Do I just simply unplug it and put it in the new one and that's it? I'm worried that the programs could give errors when I try to open them.

that will work fine, but you should probably do a clean installation of windows if its a bootdrive.

Yup, it's a boot drive. Can I try to see if it works before doing a clean installation?

I would always advise to make a backup dafore you do anyhting with your disk but in this case the only thing that can really go wrong is that drivers fail or the system wont boot which will still not erase your data so you can just plug it back in to your old machine and backup from there
