  1. Migrating/Reinstalling Windows 10 to another storage device?


    I bought another SSD and want to use it as my main. However, the way I got Windows 10 was by using a hard drive that had Windows 8 on it from a laptop and then using the free upgrade to W10 when I installed it in my desktop.

    What would be the easiest way to reinstall Windows 10 (and validate it) on the new SSD? I'm not clued up on how W10 handles licenses and stuff.
