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.


From a percentage point of view, the odds are "extremely good",
that when you clone C:, then boot from the new clone, it
will be C: as well. There will be no need to do anything drastic.

In my PC, the assignment of drive letters at bootup seems to be
determined by where the physical drives are installed.

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?
