Hey everyone! I'm in the process of building a new PC, and I'm making the switch from an ATX to a micro ATX case because I need to save some space. I'm curious about transferring my NVME drive from my old setup to the new one. The NVME has my operating system, games, and applications on it. Will this work without issues? Any advice would be very helpful! Thanks!

As long as your new motherboard supports that drive and the data, you should be good. Just take the necessary precautions—like backing up important data, just in case. Sometimes migrating can lead to unexpected hiccups, even if it usually goes smoothly!
You'll definitely be able to move your NVME drive to the new build. Just make sure the new motherboard has an M.2 slot for it. Since your NVME contains Windows and all your data, it should boot up just fine once you install it, assuming hardware compatibility isn't an issue. You might need to adjust some BIOS settings, but it’s usually pretty straightforward! Good luck!
Also, keep in mind that if the motherboard is different, you might need to reactivate Windows. Just check that before you transfer!
Good point! Always best to have a backup. You never know!
