I'm planning to upgrade to a new PC with all new parts and will stick with Windows 10 since my current setup has a digital license linked to my Microsoft account. I'm concerned about migrating my current boot drive to avoid driver conflicts with the new hardware. I have two specific questions:
1. If I don't buy a new M.2 boot drive and use my existing one instead, can I just uninstall the old drivers, install the drive in the new PC, reactivate Windows through the Activation Troubleshooter, and then download new drivers?
2. If I do get a new M.2 drive, can I uninstall the old drivers and use Macrium Reflect to clone my current boot drive to the new one, then install that in the new PC?

I'd recommend going for a clean install of Windows 11. Staying on Windows 10 isn't wise since it won't be supported forever and has security risks. Plus, Windows 11 is pretty similar, and any quirks can usually be fixed with third-party tools.
