Windows 10: Bootable Cloned HDD transfer to New PC with different MOBO and Processors

I clone my HDD in a bootable format on a regular basis as a backup should my HDD fail. My computer is now 7 years old and it needs to be replaced. I plan to build a new machine. Obviously the MOBO and processor will be quite different. How can I transfer my cloned HDD with Windows 10 to the new machine and associate the Win 10 license with the new machine? In the activation section of my Windows 10 settings it says that my license is activated with a digital license linked to my Microsoft account.

Wiping recently cloned HDD (W10 bootable)

Hi Guys,

Recently restored my Pc to factory settings (downgraded to W8) then reinstalled W10 upgrade on the restored OS.

I used the Samsung data migration to create a clone of the W10 OS onto a new Samsung EVO 850 240gb SSD. This went smoothly and the drive boots to W10 and runs great. I want to install the old 1Tb mechanical HDD in a caddy in the cd drive of the laptop.

I have tried using a USB 3.0 to sata cable to read the internal 1Tb HDD and wipe the bootable W10 OS that is still on there to end up with a clean 1Tb for data . I cant access the drive using the cable nor the caddy. The laptop even defaults boot to the
old HDD when installed in the laptop with the caddy.

Disk management doesn't recognize any drives neither does windows explorer.

Any ideas on how to wipe the old HDD with the original W10 OS on it using a USB cable or from inside the caddy?

Cheers
