  1. Clean install of windows 10 OS on new SSD on the same Laptop with Digital Licence


    I want to do a clean install of Windows 10 OS on a new SSD. My current HDD is the boot drive with the Windows 10 Digital Licence. What is the best way to transfer my boot drive to the new SSD without losing my Digital License?I tried creating a Windows 10 Installation Media using USB storage from the Media Creation Tool. But this requires me to have a Product Key which I don't have. PS: I can clean wipe both the HDD and the new SSD. But don't know how to transfer my Windows Digital Licence.

    :)

  3. Windows 10 activation - Existing SSD in new laptop

    Hi

    My previous laptop came with Windows 8.

    I upgraded it to Windows 10 using the free upgrade offer.

    I then got an SSD.

    I used the packaged software to clone the HDD to the SSD.

    The laptop got hit by a power surge and the motherboard blew.

    My new laptop came with a standard HDD.

    It has a digital licence for Windows 10.

    I inserted the SSD in an optical drive caddy and booted from it.

    I now see the Activate windows warning.

    My SSD contains a very customised Windows experience, along with tons of software, and hundreds of thousands of files synced to Google Drive.

    This means that I really don't want to have to clone the HDD over the SSD and start loading all my software and files again.

    However, since the laptop came with a digital licence (and no key that I can find), I can't simply insert the new licence key into the SSD windows settings.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks

    Brendon

  4. Clean install of windows 10 OS on new SSD on the same Laptop with Digital Licence

    Clean install Windows 10 on new SSD to rplace failing HDD and corrupte

    How to do a clean install of Windows 10 on a new SSD that will replace a failing HDD and corrupted data files in a Laptop PC?
    There seems to be a lot of old posts that touch on various subjects that I need help with but none that lump them all together. This is a clean install of Windows 10 on a new SSD on a Laptop PC that was previously upgraded to Windows 10 with the free upgrade just prior to the free upgrade becoming unavailable. About 6 months ago intermittent weird problems began to appear and with the help of various support groups and Windows Community we came to the conclusion that the HDD needed to be replaced(failed Seagate's drive test) with an SSD (My Choice) and a clean install of Windows 10(corrupted data files in the OS).
    I was given a URL to download and burn to DVD an ISO file of Windows 10 PRO 64bit OS. I purchased a 240GB Sandisk SSD. I don't need to partition this drive as the single C: partition is adequate for size and speed.
    Is there a step by step procedure listed somewhere that preps(formats?) the SSD using disk management for Windows 10 and then using the ISO file that I burned to a DVD, installs Windows 10 on to my SSD? I am not familiar with ISO files and am assuming that is something that is sent to you to boot from and install from when you order SW from MS.
