    Changing from a HDD to SSD! How to install windows 10


    Hey Team!!I have windows 10 preinstalled in my laptop, but now I plan to change the hard drive from a HDD to SSD. If I change the hard drive, will I have to buy windows 10 again? Or can it be cloned with my new SSD?

    :)

    Move Windows 10 from installed hdd to installed ssd

    Get a disk cloning software and do the cloning job, from HDD to SSD on PC.

    Change boot priority to cloned SSD in BIOS or remove HDD to test if you can boot up successfully.

    Cloning method is safe but still it is good to create a backup image for your Win10 before you start.

    For detailed steps with screenshots, you may need:

    Changing from a HDD to SSD! How to install windows 10

    Windows 10 - Installation after change from HDD to SSD

    Hello,

    I want to change my old HDD with Upgrade-Windows 10 to a new SSD with a clean installed Windows 10. Do I have to deactivate the OS in the old HDD before installing it at the new SSD?

    Otherwise Microsoft could think that I have one Licence for two PCs, or?

    Another question:

    Will my old Windows 7-Key work with the new Windows 10-install?

    Greetings!
