  1. Can I install Windows 10 from an old SSD on a new PC?


    Hey, the question seems very simple but to my surprise I haven’t been able to find any topic that would describe my type of scenario. My laptop has died yesterday and I’m not going to repair it. I’d like to remove the SSD M.2 type that was inside and use it in a new PC that I will buy to install the Windows 10 system on it. Will it work the way I imagine it? If there’s any more information you need, let me know. Thanks in advance

    :)

    Installing Windows 10 on New PC?

    I'm going to be building a new PC on Christmas and want to install Windows 10 on it. I have Windows 10 on my current PC, which I installed upgrading from 8.1 with the files on a USB. How do I go about installing a clean copy of Windows 10 on this new PC? I think I recall something about installing it once makes Microsoft recognize your hardware, but since this will be a PC I'm not sure what steps I need to take. Do I need to go 8.1 -> 10 or is there a method of going directly to 10?

    Can I install Windows on new SSD on old PC?

    I built a custom PC some time ago and purchased and installed Windows 10. I recently built a new PC where I did a fresh install of a new purchased Windows 11 USB and moved the SSD from the old computer to the new one.

    I want to give my old PC to my parents to use. Can I install the windows 10 i bought for the old PC on to a new SSD that I place in the old PC?
