New PC file transfer help

[Ghostsquidy]

I'm thinking of upgrading my old i7 2600 system to a new Ryzen 3 1300X setup. I have all my games and Programs installed on my HDD and my 120GB SSD is just windows. But since I'm going from Intel to AMD and need to do a fresh install of Windows 10, how would I keep all the stuff that gets put in Windows when I installed games/programs when I do the Fresh install?

Why would you do that ? Ryzen 3 1300x is not a good improvement over a 2600

 

Keep the 2600 and wait for next ryzen gen or next intel gen

 

It's like 15% better at best, not worth it

The big reason why I want to upgrade to the 1300X is because my PC can not restart so Win10 has downloaded update 1709 6 times and I can't use the new GPU I bought because the motherboard BIOS does not support it

I'm sorry but this is non-sense...

You can use any GPU on any 2600 board + you can install windows 10 no problems

 

Also the BIOS has nothing to do with it

My system is an Alienware from 2011 so when I installed my GTX 770 that I bought, the PC would just spit out a bios check failure, then when I put my HD6950 back in, it booted perfectly. I'm also perplexed as to why my 770 doesn't let my PC boot

I'm sorry to hear that. I have to go. Ask for help first, cause it should be working. It's possible the power supply is not strong enough, if not, you can try to update the bios.

Apart from hardware where you are dowgrading, on software side you just leave HDD disconnected when installing Windows on SSD. You need to reinstall most of the software, but games that are using platforms like Steam and Origin you only need to reinstall platform. After that you point to folder where game files are and that's it.
