I want to upgrade storage as it is too little and i have an SSD i want to replace it with, am i able to use my windows license i have in the old SSD on the new one instead? It is a laptop windows license so it came with the laptop i bought. I would like some assistance thank you.

Need to upgrade SSD to a larger SSD, how to move license over?

I have purchased an OEM laptop with Windows 10 pre-installed. The laptop packaging box or label on the back of the laptop did not have a Window 10 product key listed anywhere. However I've found the product key from command line like so which gives me a
25 digit key

I also used the following command to verify my Window 10 is indeed an OEM license and that it's genuine which gives me something like this https://filestore.community.support...54e99-2fc8-4e0f-a015-77c41424c2f2?upload=true

This laptop comes with a 256GB SSD and I need to upgrade it to a larger SSD, maybe 500GB or 1TB SSD. However I'm not clear about how the license is tied to this laptop and what happens if I upgrade to a new SSD?

1. I prefer to perform a fresh re-install from a bootable USB rather than clone. Will a clean re-install work with the same product key on the new SSD or do I have to clone the old SSD to the new SSD to retain the license?
2. Is the license tied to some sort of machine ID and not the SSD that even after changing the SSD, the same product key can still be used to activate Windows 10?
3. What if the activation does not work, will Microsoft be able to help? I don't want to risk changing the SSD if this sort of thing is not officially allowed by Microsoft

 

Can I re-use the same windows license that came with my laptop in new windows installation?

Hi,

I have an ASUS laptop that came with a genuine Windows 8 license. After it was released, I was able to upgrade to windows 10 under the same license. I was planning to swap the HDD that came with the laptop for a SSD to improve performance, but I wanted to
start with a clean installation instead of installing an image of my current drive.

I was wondering if there's any way I can re-use the same windows license that came with my laptop? If so, where can I find the license number/certificate? The laptop didn't come with any windows sticker on the bottom or in the box, so I don't know where
to find it.

Thank you!

Claudio.
