I'm upgrading almost every part of my PC and plan to move my SSD from the old one to the new build. Are there any potential issues or things I should keep in mind during this transfer?

Before you swap your SSD, it's a good idea to uninstall all the drivers for your old hardware. This prevents any conflicts when you get everything set up with the new components. Another thing to watch out for is your Windows activation, as sometimes it won't activate on a new motherboard. Just make sure you're logged into the same Microsoft account linked to your Windows on the old system. Also, I recommend checking your SSD's health with CrystalDiskInfo to make sure it’s still in good shape before moving it over.
