Should games go on C or D drive?

For games, install on the D drive (or secondary drive) if you have a separate, larger drive, especially if your C drive (OS drive) is a smaller SSD, to keep your OS fast and games on a bigger storage space, preventing slowdowns and making system reinstalls easier; otherwise, if you only have one drive, put the OS and games on the SSD for fastest loading, but keep C drive space free.

Can I clone my entire PC to a new one?

Yes, you can clone your old computer to a new one to transfer your OS, files, programs, and settings, but it works best with similar hardware; if the new PC has different components (like graphics or motherboard), you may need to install new drivers and reactivate Windows, as cloning moves everything, including old drivers, which can cause conflicts. Use disk cloning software like AOMEI Backupper (free) or Clonezilla to create an exact copy of your old drive, then install it in the new PC, or restore the image to the new drive.
