    Installing windows on a new SSD while already having an active OS


    Question is the following. I've recently installed a new SSD. OS is installed on one of my HDDs I don't even remember which one, maybe both, maybe its separated since i have a couple of "disks" that are showing in My PC that were probably segmented at some point. I'm not sure if i have a separate flash drive with a capacity to make it a boot drive. I wonder, if there is a way to install Windows separately on my SSD and replace the HDD booting one with a fresh SSD one in... I don't know... BIOS?

    :)

    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.
