Hello,

I currently run a PC with win 10, older hardware. I have 6 3TB hdds, set up using storage spaces, two-way mirror, so 9TB total. They are all connected via sata.

I want to upgrade to a different PC, and transfer the data to newer hard drives.

Will it be as simple as: disconnecting some drives, connecting new ones, transfering the files to new hdds, and connecting new hdds to new PC? Or will windows get angry with that?

I am going from win 10 to win 11 if that matters.

Perhaps I should just transfer the files to the single drives, put those in the new PC, then add their backups and do the storage spaces then?

Any advice would be appreciated!
