  1. Any Windows 10 reinstall on another drive risks?


    Hello,

    When I bought my computer, It was before windows 10 came out so I had windows 7.

    When Windows 10 came out, there was a year that anyone had Windows 7 could upgrade it to Windows 10 and I did it.

    The OS is installed on my SSD but I bought another SSD (it's not activated yet) with more storage space in it, and I want to reinstall the OS on it.

    I have three questions about the situation:

    Is it even legal to do it? It's the same computer but a different drive so I am not sure...

    If I reinstall the OS on there, will I need to reinstall all the apps on my SSD too and will it be Windows 7 or Windows 10?

    :)

    Hi Rodolpho,

    We want to know about the issue you're having with your recovery drive. Please answer the questions below:

    • Are you trying to reinstall Windows 8 or Windows 10?
    • If you already upgraded to Windows 10, were you able to create a new copy of the recovery drive?

    We suggest creating a new copy of the recovery drive and then follow the steps provided by Andre Da Costa above this thread.

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Any Windows 10 reinstall on another drive risks?

    Reinstalling Windows 10 to sell a PC - is the 'Remove everything' option enough?

    Restore factory settings do list Removes your personal files, apps and settings, and reinstalls the version of Windows that came on this PC.

    So if this isn't true well than just erase the drive and install a clean Windows 10 with all the drivers u need but why should it be true
