    Fresh install of Windows 10 to SSD


    I upgraded to Windows 10 couple years ago when MS offered to Windows 7 owner a free upgrade. Now I'm planning to install a SSD to my computer and have the OS boot from it.


    How do i do a fresh install to my SSD without the disc? Is there somewhere I can download Windows 10 install? And where do i find my Windows Key?


    Thanks!

    :)

    Please suggest how I can install a fresh copy of the windows in my new SSD with the existing license. And please suggest how to activate the new installation of Windows.
