Hello, I have an old xps laptop that is going to kick the bucket soon. Right now I am copying all the files from the C drive to a hard drive such as program files and program files x86. It is directly the C drive folders I am copying. I want to know if it is possible to place the files that are copied from the directory onto a blank SSD and boot windows off of it. If there are other methods that are better than the method I am using please tell me as well because the hard drive is giving up.

Just copy and pasting? No. You can clone the C drive to another drive using macrium reflect or another cloning software though and it should be bootable from the new drive.
