I have had no problem ever Re -Ghosting
In fact It has got me out of a few holes In the past.
New computer. Probably the best advice Is a clean Install

The chip set and drivers from the original motherboard are almost certainly not the same as the new motherboard, so I do not believe you would have good luck ghosting the primary drive (C:).
 
If you have sample libraries and projects on a different drive than the C:. then those should be able to be just copied over, or just take that drive and move it to the new system, then fix the paths for any programs that will be pointing to any locations on the new drive.

Thanks for the many answers...
 
I did find, in the meantime, that Cakewalk Command Center does not delete the archives it downloads after the installation.
 
Would I be able to freshly install Cakewalk Command Center to the new computer, point it to the folder with the existing downloads and have it install from there?
 
 
note: I'm not finished building the new system, otherwise I would have simply tried it already, but as it is, I figured I'd ask here :)

Just copy the files from the old download folder to the new download folder. You only need to copy the latest files.

Then sync it up in CCC settings.

Ta.

So, I was actually forced to try this move by now, cause my computer did not recognize my old SSD anymore, it seems dead as a door nail, won't work in a USB enclosure either...
 
- So I bought another SSD, installed windows and then Cakewalk Command Center.
 
- set the "download path" to the folder on my backup drive, where all the files are that Command Center had already downloaded - which is everything. There should have been no reason to download anything other than minor updates.
 
However, its begun to download every last thing I tried to have it install from scratch.
 
 
So, the whole thing really isn't working.  I suppose I could start each executable in that folder manually...?
 
Or will Command Center do its job after performing some other adjustment I don't know about?
 
 

---------------------------------
EDIT :  After trying again, CCC operates properly and sees installers in its download folder and uses them.
---------------------------------
 
I have also noticed that CCC will not see an installer already in its download folder and will download again.
 
This may be the safe way of doing things, but maybe an option could be added to use an existing installer.
 
 

This is the second time I've read this yet I have no problem installing from an already downloaded file in the CCCs download cache.
Perhaps try signing out of then back into the CCC.

This was probably the problem, at least in my case.
 
I just put a large number of my products on dvds and moved them from my floortop into the CCC's download folder on my laptop.  CCC saw every one of them and ran them without redownloading.
 

I just went to the sys back up, made a *system backup* (it was 100 gigs though) all my samples were on three separate drives unrelated to the system drive (c:).  Then rebooted, did a clean install.  Went to the back up area and there it asks if you want to restore a system backup..you just click yes.  All registry links worked fine.

btw on 10 there's a new option to do a windows 10 *reset* which is like a clean install.
