  1. Is it possible to transfer windows 10 from an hdd to a new ssd?


    Sorry for the dumb question, but i recently found out that by simply having windows 10 installed into an ssd would make it run a little bit faster. Right now I have my windows 10 installed on my hdd and recently bought a new ssd, and so i was wondering if i could just easily transfer it to my new ssd.

    Note i dont really care if i lose everything inside of my old hdd, all i want is the windows 10.

    Im also planning on getting a new hdd, so can i just transfer my windows 10 (from old hdd) to my new ssd, then install a new hdd? Would that even work? Thank you in advance

  2. Upgraded Windows Transfer from HDD to SSD

    Hi

    My windows was upgraded from 8 to 10 on my laptop few years back. I was trying to get the HDD replaced with SSD. During the copy process, the technician said windows cannot be moved to SSD as it is an upgraded version from 8 to 10.

    Kindly guide if there is a possibility to copy the windows to SSD ? If so, please suggest the steps.

  3. Copying Windows 10 to new SSD from existing HDD while upgrading to SSD from HDD.

    Hi,

    I'm thinking about updating my 2 years old laptop from HDD to SSD. Since my HDD is still in working condition, I plan to use it as an external HDD. I have a pre-installed Windows 10 Home on my laptop.
    Is it possible for me to transfer it to the new SSD while upgrading? If then please tell me the steps to follow.

    Thanks and Regards,

    Arjun.

  4. Is it possible to transfer windows 10 from an hdd to a new ssd?

    Transfer free Windows 10 Preview 10240 from HDD to a new SSD

    I've acquired the free Windows 10 licence from Insider program. I don't have neither Windows 7 or 8 licence. System is installed on my spare and slow HDD.

    • Can I transfer or reinstall Windows 10 on my main HDD or on a new SSD? Will the system activate properly after clone or reinstall?
    • Where I can find the product key which were given to the preview members?
