    Migrating Licensed Win10 to New Drive & Computer


    I have spent a bit of time searching for the answer but haven't found exactly what I am looking for, so I appreciate your help.I have a licensed retail copy of Win 10 on a 500GB HD. My computer died. I seem to be able to boot the copy of Win 10 off the original HD via an external USB port on my new Win 11 desktop. I haven't tried updating it or using it yet so I don't know if it will eventually complain about not being on the same computer as the one on which it was originally installed.What I would like to do:Install it on a new HDD on a new computer which has Win 11 on an SSD. Copying/clon

    :)

    Migrating Win10 to NVMe SSD

    I am going to migrate my Win10 to my NVMe SSD. Installation wise there should be no problem. However I cannot seem to be able to erase the old Windows 10 on the SATA SSD. If I boot from USB Win10 Installation media it only ask me whether I want to repair the SATA SSD Win10 or not. Any ideas on how to complete erase the SSD that currently have Win10 on it? I tried sanitize drive and PSID revert in Win10, neither would work. The SATA SSD is Crucial MX200.

    Migrating Digitally Licensed Windows 10 to SSD

    I am very confused on how to migrate my current OS to my SSD by using the new ISO by Windows. I have installed the ISO onto a flash drive. I have booted the flash drive and it says that I have to go back and start Windows normally and restart the upgrade
    process. What does this mean? Could anyone give me step-by-step instructions on how to migrate my OS? Also, my Windows 10 is digitally licensed.
