   So, in other news, I'm about to switch up my computer for the first time in possibly like 8 or so years. Am I having anxiety attacks that there's something I've forgotten to take with me to the new hard drive/CPU?

   NO! Honest. Not at all. I absolutely haven't been sitting here with the unwrapped computer beside my desk using the old one and telling myself this is normal behavior at all!

   Pray to gods neither of us believe in for me...

     @AnarchoNinaWrites i always end up pulling the old hard drive and using it as an external one for a while in case there's something on there that i forgot.

     @studiofox Yeah the problem is I've done that three times in a row now and I've been saving stuff across all 3; ain't room for more than 2 in the new machine. So I had to consolidate - but I am convinced I'll have forgotten something on a terra drive I bring with me. I'm pretty sure I'm just neurotic like this; changing computers has always been about as traumatic as moving is for me lol.

     If you are using cloning software to transfer all your data from your old PC's drive to your new one, it should be painless. (VMMV, of course.) I've twice upgraded the internal hard drive on my laptop (HP 14 Pavilion) from the factory installed 1 TB hard disk to a 2 TB SSD, and now a 4 TB SSD; and both times, other than having to disable and re-enable the cache memory module that came with my original PC (HP 16Gb Optane, now upgraded to 32 GB), it was a piece of cake.
