  1. How do I activate Windows after installing it on a new SSD?


    Hello, I've recently purchased a new SSD and did a fresh install of Windows on it but I'm unable to activate it. I have already formatted the old Windows installation but it won't let me use my digital license on the new installation. When I try to use the troubleshooter it says it can't find a device on my account but I can see the devices when accessing my account. I've tried sending 3 support tickets already but they get canceled every time with no communication from the agent assigned.

    Activating Windows 10 on new SSD

    Hi there

    I have the Windows 10 Pro 64 bit version with an OEM license activated on my laptop. I would like to replace my HDD with an SSD. I would like to understand how to activate the license on the new SSD. Please note that i would prefer to do a fresh install
    of the OS rather than cloning my HDD to SSD. Would the license be activated automatically or would there be any other steps involved. Please note that i would
    not be changing the motherboard, just the hard drive. Thanks in advance for your help and support.
