I have built a new PC (Intel Alder Lake) with a new empty drive. I intend to install Windows 10 or 11. I also intend to move two old drives from my old PC to the new one. One old drive has Windows 10 on it, plus some applications. The second old drive has lots of data and some applications...
I installed a new Sandisk SSD on my old PC (using EaseToDo for the cloning) but had to leave the old drive connected as well, due to boot issues which I gave up trying to resolve. I'm sorry if today's question doesn't make sense: do I gain any advantage by opening Windows with the old drive...

I recently recovered my C: drive to a new drive (via Symantec SSR Anyware to a new computer) and kept the same disk id on the new drive. Now I want to use the old C: drive on my new system (as an additional data disk) but of course windows won't mount it because...
