I should have formatted them before putting them in the new PC I built (I have a new M.2 drive which will serve as my boot up), but I discovered a new problem: I can't install my Windows 10 Pro on this new PC.
My copy of Windows 10 was a free upgrade when Microsoft was offering it in 2015 (I believe) and I seem to be having a mighty hard time finding anything to prove that.
