I have old PC as media storage and I want to migrate all the files into 1 HDD so that I can sell the PC later on.

 

Issue is I don't know if the motherboard support 4TB HDD or not.

i5-3470

Asus P8H77-M

 

Thanks in advance.

Intel Core i7-2600 (4C/8T), ASUS P8Z68-V/GEN3, 16GB GEIL Enhance Corsa DDR3 1600MHz, Zotac GeForce GTX 550 Ti 1GB, 240GB ADATA Ultimate SU650, Windows 10 Pro for Workstations

 

Older File Server: Yet to be named

You should be fine. Unless you want to boot an OS from that drive and also use its full capacity. If that is the case you may need to change your bios boot mode to disable csm.

I hope you are talking about an internal drive, because if it is an external one you have to do almost nothing.
