So you're going to have to do everything manually. If you don't feel like shelling out money to transfer your stuff to a new PC, there's bad news: Windows no longer includes its Easy Transfer software that lets you automatically move files and settings between two PCs. There are two ways to get that done: The hard and free way, or the easy and expensive way.

Maybe I'll take the drive from the external case & install it internally. You raise an interesting point that data transfer on an internal disk will be faster than on USB3 external. I was afraid that was going to be the case. According to an error message I managed to get voltage regulation on the mobo had failed. I sympathise with your desire to save work, but it ain't going to happen ! I have just had to do this with my own computer and I've got four hard drives in it - a 1TB with Windows on it, two for data and a 500GB for Linux. In any case, you will get quicker data transfer from an internal SATA drive than from an external drive connected by USB. The simplest and quickest way to do this, once you have your OS up and running on the SSD would be to put the old drive in one of your spare bays, connect it to a spare SATA connector and copy the data across. Or, since you say you would like to sell the old computer 'complete', get a new 1 or 2TB drive and transfer your data to that and then remove all your own data from the old drive before putting it back into the old machine. You could certainly use your 1TB hard drive in your new tower. I have never used an SSD myself, but virtually all the advice on BC is to put your OS and applications on the SSD and your data - and you have a fair amount of it - on another drive. The reason is that the applications have to tie in with the registry, and the only way to get them to do this is to install them. Sorry - but you are going to have to re-install all your applications. Speccy snapshot of my current system attached. If you need more information, please let me know. I'd really appreciate some advice on how best to "transfer" the program files to the external HD & have them still work.

My current PC runs Win 10 64bit Pro & the new one is Win 10 but not sure of which version yet. I'd like the old PC to remain intact so I can sell it as a working machine, including the 1Tb drive. There are a lot of them & it would take ages to have to start again. I want to avoid having to install or download all my other apps again. The new PC has plenty of free bays & SATA3 support so I could install the HD inside the PC if it would make a difference but I'm not too bothered if say Office loads a little slower. I'd like all my other apps to run from an external USB 3 HD if possible. I'd like to use the SSD for Win10, Lightroom app & my photos only so I get the best performance. The new one has a 250Gb SSD but the old has a 1Tb HD which contains all my app installs as well as Win.

I do a lot of photo processing which needs a more powerful CPU so I've gone from AMD FX 4100 to Intel i7 2600k which I'll no doubt overclock. My current PC is running out of steam so I've bought a new one.
