  1. Cloning HDD to SSD and Windows 10 License


    Hello everyone,I have a laptop I bought in 2014. It came with Windows 8 installed. Years later, I upgraded it to Windows 8,1, and later, to Windows 10.Now, I am planning to clone the HDD to Samsung 870 QVO using Samsung Data Migration Tool. It seems there won't be an issue on cloning the data.Will I encounter any issue with the Windows license since the laptop had initially Windows 8 ? I read other posts but I don't have it clear for this case.Thank you!

    :)

    Replacing HDD with SSD Windows 10 license

    I have an HP Pavilion laptop with Windows 10 on it. I would like to replace the HDD with an SSD with a clean install, rather than clone the HDD. Will I lose my Windows 10 license or will I be able to install Windows 10 and activate the copy?

    Thank you.

    Cloning HDD having Windows 10 to SSD

    Hello,

    If I clone HDD having windows 10 to SSD then will it also copy the drivers and all?

    I am thinking to use cloning software available on internet like EaseUS, Partionwizard, etc.

    Can anyone confirms that If I clone then will I get everything as it is there in HDD with driver and when I boot SSD then do I need to reinstall the driver again?

    Thanks in advance.
