    How to Transfer Windows onto new drive


    So, I have a spare 1TB SSHD that I’d like to replace my factory HDD used for the default C drive on my laptop. Is there an easy tutorial that could help me get Windows onto the current spare, so I can boot into the OS after replacing the old HDD?

    Help with OS Transfer on a new build

    Need some help figuring out what I need to do for a fresh build tomorrow. I will be moving off of my old CPU and mobo to a new X99 system. Right now I have my OS on a Sata SSD and want to transfer it onto a new NVME drive.

    Some issues:
    • I have a windows 10 upgrade from a RETAIL windows 7 license so I should have migration rights correct?
    • I have 3 other non-OS drives so after I do the install with my old/ current Microsoft account will my fresh install of windows recognise those drives?
    If you guys could shed some light on how to do this or advice please lend a hand. thanks!

    How to transfer windows 8/10 to new hard drive

    I have a windows 8 installation disk with licence, I used it to build a computer.

    I have since used the free upgrade to windows 10 on this computer.

    I just purchased a new SSD drive that I want to install in this computer.

    I am looking for step by step instructions on the best way to install or transfer windows 10 to this new drive.

    Do I install the windows 8 and then upgrade to windows 10? Will I have to pay to do that? Do I need to do anything before the install? Take down the key or licence number somewhere? Where do I find that?

    Any help or suggestions would be of great assistance.

    Thanks.
