I wonder what would happen / Can I "clone" my exiting Win10SpringCU

Current system:

(16GB) KHX1600C9D3/4GX,
Asus Radeon HD7790 DirectCU II OC 1GB,
Kingston SSDNow V300 120GB (as C,

Intel Core i5-8600K,MSI B360 GAMING PLUS, G.Skill RipjawsV DDR4 3200
MHz 16 Gt (2 x 8 GB), MSI GEFORCE GTX 1050 TI 4GT LP, Kingston A1000
240 Gt (nVMe SSD)


Transfer or new/clean install (I have a Win10HomeCreatorsUpdate
USB-media)???

And I know everybody says: CLEAN INSTALL , but that would be a PITA
(as I've had/used/upgraded it since Win10 came out) and I don't have
all my softwares install media anymore...


I will be changing PSU, case, transferring MY HDDs (Samsung
HD154UI,Seagate ST300DM001,Verbatim(Toshiba)DT01ACA300




Rest of new system is:
Corsair CS650M, BitFenix Shinobi Window (haven't decided if I will
transfer opticalDiscDrive)


A clone of a Windows system is a snapshot of it at a point in time. When
you give it the return-to-life spark it just carries on from where it
was. And that means a particular hardware configuration, with all
relevant driver files, at a particular nanosecond of CPU-processing, all
caches as they were etc.
Your new system doesn't match the old; hence it will crash.

Sorry, pal, but you're forced into option 2; a clean install.

Not the case.


I have transferred existing Win10 installations (many times)into new
hardware and it has always re-configured with no problem. It is superior
to any previous version of Windows in it's ability to do that.

It will not be activated however and a new license will be needed.
