    Installing Windows 10 on a new drive


    Hi! I wanted to buy a SSD to speed my PC up a bit but I have around 500GB worth of Apps I want to keep because downloading them would take ages.

    So my question is, do I have to reinstall all programs when I install Windows 10 on a new drive or am I good just keeping them on the old one?

    :)

    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?
