Budget (including currency): 

Country: 

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: 

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 

 

So I have a new gaming PC that I am about to build.  I have an SSD with the OS and all my drivers and games and everything already on it. Would I be able to plug it right in to my new build and have it boot up perfectly fine like the Pre Built I am taking it out of?  

 

I am using the Same GPU from the prebuilt as well so the drivers for that are also already on that SSD I mentioned. 

 

New parts will be everything with the exception of the RTX 2080 and if this works the SSD otherwise all other parts and components will be brand new. 

 

Any advice how to create a bootable USB of Windows?

 

Thanks for any and all help, apologies for the rookie questions. 

 

Thanks to all!!!

You'll probably have to reactivate Windows if you're changing a lot of hardware. I think it's the motherboard that usually triggers this. You'll also need different drivers than what you're using now minus the GPU drivers. It's better to backup important files and wipe the SSD then do a fresh install.

If you do have to reactivate Windows, you can get keys fairly cheap.

I'm not actually trying to be as grumpy as it seems.

I will find your mentions of Ikea or Gnome and I will /s post.
