    Migrating Windows 10 to SSD Confusion.


    Hi, I have an SSD and I have been researching on how to migrate my OS from my HDD to my SSD and different websites tell me different things. One says to use EaseUS to migrate my OS and files, others say use Macrium Reflect, also some say to to a System Image. Which one is the best to use If I want to migrate my OS and files to my SSD to use as my main drive. Also I would like to know what will happen to the windows license? I read and some people say you have to put it in again and some say that it wouldn't ask to put in the activation or a new one. Sorry last question, what will happen to my software licenses, will they work on the new drive as they did with the old drive? I have Avast AntiVirus, some video editing softwares, and others. Will the software act differently or weirdly on the new drive?

    :)

    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.

    Windows 10 migration

    To migrate Windows 10 from HDD to SSD, here are many different ways. But here I would like to introduce the most simple method, that is using a software AOMEI Backupper, and you can

    migrate Windows 10 to SSD     with a few steps. with this way, you need to prepare an SSD which is enough to store the system files before.

    Migrating Windows 10 to my SSD

    I will be migrating windows 10 to my SSD using Acronis migration tool.

    but before i do so, I just want to make sure of a few things

    1. When i put my OS on the ssd, will i have to unplug my hdd or wipe it, cause i'm afraid it'll cause problems after migrating it.

    2. Will i need to re-enter my windows 10 key after migrating it, I used the free upgrade from windows 7 to 10.
