Swapped out the last PC that still needed a SSD yesterday. This was the first one that I did using the migration tools, rather than installing everything from scratch, as the machine was recently rebuilt and still pretty vanilla. The Samsung migration software worked exactly as designed, and it was a piece of cake. The SSD can be plugged right into a USB port with the right cable, and it dupes the existing drives onto the SSD. In this case, it was even reading from a RAID array of 2 drives, as one logical drive, and it had no trouble pointing to it and pulling everything over onto the SSD. After a few hours, I just yanked the power & data cables from the drives in the case, plugged the SSD in as the sole drive, and rebooted. It came up first try, no muss, no fuss.

Next project is to get some upgraded graphics cards in all generations of PCs around the house so we can have proper Fortnite battles. Most recent PC works great; the ones from a few years ago are passable, but would do well with an upgrade. The one from 2006 loads and works, but playing is very clunky. The recent XBox One controllers have standard bluetooth in them, so they can connect directly to a Win 10 PC with no cable or adapter needed.
