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

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.

FWIW...many moons ago, I think it was Windows 2000, I found that it could
not be installed on any drive beyond G:. Maybe that is still the case...


There aren't really any good articles on the topic
(and I already spotted two errors in the Wikipedia
article on drive lettering).

This is one topic, where you just keep installing
OSes and watching what factors affect lettering,
until you achieve the degree of control you want.
