Moving boot drive from one PC to another

[Boxfreshchris]

I have a 500GB M2 in my current Intel machine, and I'm building a Ryzen 5000 based machine next week.

Now, is it possible to simply take the boot drive across? I have Office, various games/save files and programs I'd rather not re-download/install.

I've linked my digital licence to my Microsoft account, so that should work fine.

I think I've talked myself into a fresh Windows install though. I've already got a .iso USB drive from another project, so think I might just wipe the whole drive after building the new PC and start fresh
