I have a 2 way mirror storage space on 2 USB external drives set up in Windows 10 home that I want to move to a new computer also running Windows 10 home.

I've read that you just have to connect the 2 USB external drives to the new computer (i.e. the storage space information is stored on the physical drives) but I tried this and the new computer does not recognize the drives at all.

I've also read that you would have to back up all of the data first and create a new storage pool on the new computer with two new drives and then copy over the backed up files. If this is really the case, then the data on storage space drives is basically lost in the event of a motherboard failure whereas a non-storage space drive containing files could be just connected to the new computer.
