Windows 10: Migrating OS

I've recently purchased an SSD as my hard drive isn't coping as a boot drive and is bottlenecking performance. As a result I've a need to migrate my data across. I'm using a smaller SSD 500gb than HDD 2tb and am aware I need to cut down to fit. My issue is that I've lost my windows 10 key, was just wondering what the simplest way to do the transfer was without requiring any information again.

OS Migration

I have a PC that has become very slow at booting up. Sometimes it takes so long to be ready to use, I have to re-boot it again in order for it so be useable at all. It has 2 x 1TB HDDs in it & the one with the OS on it is at about 95% full. So I guess that
this could be the reason it is so slow to get going.

• Would it improve it at all if I was to migrate the OS onto an SSD?
• Is it possible to migrate the OS alone to the SSD & leave all the data on the HDD?
• If it is, what then happens to the OS on the HDD?
• Also what happens to access to existing data in Windows folders like Documents, music etc?

So many questions.

This is probably in the wrong section but I couldn't find anything appropriate.

 

OS migration tools

good idea but I don't want my main system located on a flash stick drive. I just want to have a new clean system and don't spend a lot of time installing all my apps

 

Install Diablo 3 on Linux

Just install PlayOnLinux? Why did they make step 2 and 3 of this "tutorial"?

Anyway, looking at the supported software list for PlayOnLinux, D3 is a step in the right direction. Lack of gaming is a factor for a lot of people when deciding on an OS, if more recent games get ported it may help migrate them to their preferred choice.
