I have a weird circumstance right now and TBH not sure what to do. I'm trying to move ALL my data to a new computer from my older one. The new computer has windows 10 pro 64 bit installed and the old one has windows home installed on a seperate key ( obviously) How do I take all the data off my old SSD besides the older windows stuff. Put it on the new SSD with windows 10pro. I'd like it to be that all my old stuff is just like it was before. Is that possible??? 

 

 

new SSD: ( i know it sucks.. got it for free.) Silicon Power S60 120GB 2.5" Solid State Drive

 

old SSD:  850 Pro 256gb

 

 

 

Also a side note is there gonna be any noticable difference between boot times and basic usage between the two ssd's? I'm only going to be putting windows and basic applications on them. The rest will go on my other drives.

Would it be just easier to move your important files etc with a flash drive and then just download your games and other apps again?

Yes but the thing is I'd like to have my desktop/bookmarks/all that type stuff on the new one. I dont want to feel like its  new computer.. Is there a way to make it just like my old one only with the new OS/key?

I'm not the guy who knows this kind of stuff, but I've heard that you could somehow copy your old ssd to a new one.

Ok well thanks anyway :) hopefully someone else on here will know how to do that because I only know how to do that with two identical drives.
