Hello kanujsharma,

There is no need to change the old links.

As long as all the links from the non-secure version are 301 redirected to the HTTPs version, you will not have any problem. 
Google bot correctly understands those redirections and there will be not much PageRank juice loss.
Some studies indicates a PR loss of about 10-15%.

Hope it helps.
Best luck.

Gaston,

Is your recommendation to redirect EACH INDIVIDUAL PAGE from the http version
to the https version, or is this something one could do all at once at the domain name level?

Thanks,

Kirk

Hi Kirk,

Yeap it can be done at domain level. In this particular case for candytech.in that´s been taken care of.

Thanks Gaston,

I have several good links, especially one from MOZ that I don't want to lose, so I'm trying to be super careful in this transition. Is there more rank-juice loss if you use the domain level 301 instead redirecting each page individually?

I appreciate your input.

Kirk,

If the domain level 301 redirection is correctly done technically means the same as 301 redirect manually each page.

Best luck.
