    I have 2 SSDs, one is SATA, the older one, and the other one is PCIe. I want to move Windows to the PCIe one because it's faster.Can I do what's on the question? Use the serial in System to activate the newly installed one in the newer SSD? Or I'll have to buy Windows again?After doing so, I'll format the SATA one, so the serial will be used only once.Thank you!

    :)
