    How to install fresh instance of Windows 10 onto my new SSD without USB?


    I am upgrading my PC mobo, cpu, ram, hdd and I want to install Windows 10 on a new larger SSD.I was considering cloning but decided to go with fresh install to kill bloatware that accumulated for the last 5 years.My plan of action is to:1. Install new hardware but leave my existing SSD as a boot drive and new SSD as secondary2. Boot from the old drive on new hardware3. ??? What do I do next? I don't have USB drives. I would like to download windows installer onto the old drive, install it onto the new drive and change boot partition once done. Is something like this possible? Can you please

    :)

    Installing Windows 10 on New PC?

    I'm going to be building a new PC on Christmas and want to install Windows 10 on it. I have Windows 10 on my current PC, which I installed upgrading from 8.1 with the files on a USB. How do I go about installing a clean copy of Windows 10 on this new PC? I think I recall something about installing it once makes Microsoft recognize your hardware, but since this will be a PC I'm not sure what steps I need to take. Do I need to go 8.1 -> 10 or is there a method of going directly to 10?
