Keep the old drive in the new enclosure (or old enclosure if you have one laying around) around for a bit until you're satisfied everything was successfully restored from the backup. The old drive in the enclosure can be connected to the computer if you feel like something was missed from the backup (nothing should be missing if your backup was successful), and search the old drive for the missing file.
Once you're happy you have everything, repurpose the old drive in the enclosure as a backup target for the new installation.

but if I'm gonna do all that I might as well save up for the 9600X bundle from microcenter [img]https://i.dealquestnow.online/images/smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] the only thing I'd be missing with that is a new SSD and then I'll have two PC's
My only real complaint with my current system is that one of my RAM slots is messed up, when I first built it I would get BSOD's constantly and then it just stopped, it turned out windows had disabled my 2nd slot so I was only running on 8gb for like a year. I ended up upgrading to a single 16gb instead but it's just not enough™️
Try booting in to the BIOS with a RAM stick installed in the "bad" slot and see if the BIOS(UEFI) sees it - Windows won't disable it, but if the BIOS doesn't see it, neither will Windows. Try a couple different sticks in the "bad" slot to isolate if it's the slot or the RAM.

The worst part is that it's my #4 slot IIRC, so I can't load up all 3 of the other slots. I tried again recently to go back to 2, thinking maybe it was the memory controller on my old CPU that could have been causing issues but it won't even POST with 2 sticks installed anymore
