Windows 10: MOVING SSD TO A NEW PC

I am getting an Intel bare bones NUC. I want to simply take my SSD out of my old PC and install it in the new one, and hopefully boot up. I do have my Windows 10 license activated and associated with my Microsoft account. Will I be able to make this change successfully, and only have to verify that I have moved Windows to a new device?

Move SSD (with windows 10) from old to new desktop

Hello Greg,

I may try your suggestion of moving the SSD and buying a new windows 10 license. I also marked question answered in your first post.

In hindsight, I should have not upgraded to W10 and saved $139. Then built the new PC & bought a new W10 license.

Moving SSDs to New PC Build Windows 10

I have two SSDs, one of which holds my windows 10 OS. I bought all new parts (except GPU) so I am moving my SSDs and GPU into the new case with new mobo, ram, cpu, etc. Someone on these forums mentioned around March of 2016 that Windows 10 is much more
adaptive than previous windows when moving to a new PC and that I can virtually plug and play the SSD into the new build and just reactive and do some clean up for the drivers. Will I really just be able to plug the SSD into the new PC? I completely expect
to uninstall as many drivers as possible before I shift it all and also anticipate having to update or fix some bugs, re-enter the activation code, etc. But, for the most part, I can get it going again just by plugging it in? Would love if windows has gotten
to a level that we can easily do this!

Thank you for your reply and time!
