Default Migrating to New System Drive: Drive Letter ?

Got a new SSD for my system, partitioned it into K: (System) and J:

Took an image of the existing system, then restored it to K: (System) on
the new SSD.

My plan is to:

- Shut down the PC,

- Replace the old SSD with the new SSD,

- Turn on the PC

- Bring up the BIOS' Boot menu

- Tell it to boot from the new SSD

- Wait for Windows to come up

- Change drive K: to C:


Does anybody see a problem here?

I'm thinking about whatever pointers Windows has to C:\Whatever causing
some sort of problem(s) before I can get to the drive letter change.


That is basically how my PC was setup. It came with one hard drive, a
spinner designated as the C drive. My PC guru installed a SSD drive as
D, cloned C to D, shut down my PC, swapped C and D, restarted the PC,
and then reformatted what was then D.

Pharmaceutical companies claim their drug prices are
so high because they have to recover the costs of developing
those drugs. Two questions:

1. Why is the U.S. paying the entire cost of development while
prices for the same drugs in other nations are much lower?

2. Manufacturers of generic drugs did not have those
development costs. Why are they charging so much for generics?
