    If that is the case, I would just do a byte level clone of your old drive onto your new drive, then expand your partitions as needed.
    Taking this route makes your new drive a drop in replacement for the old one.

    its larger. i am backing up the old drive data  to one of my drives for backup data. i am saving some of the important stuff but pretty much using this drive for new data. thanks for the advice!

    so i copy the entire jellyfin folder from that directory onto the main directory of my new drive? doesn't it need to be in the same drive where windows is installed? thanks in advance.
