Windows 10: Moving SSD to new laptop without reinstalling?

Both laptops have valid windows 10 licenses. One is old as balls and had a SSD breath new life into it but it still struggles, and the new one is a decent system held back by a slow drive.

I'd like to avoid reinstalling all my apps and setting things up the way I like, so could I just put the SSD from the old laptop into the new one, let it download all of the drivers, and it will reactivate with the new license fine?

Reinstall or move C & Windows 10 to SSD?

Oh, thanks a lot, that helps!

Would you suggest doing that clean reinstall or just try and move C to the SSD with a program like easeUS?

Reinstallation of Windows 10 on new SSD

I’ve purchased a new SSD and want to move the OS to the SSD. I also want to use my old TB hard
drive as the backup. I wonder if I can get the upgrade to Windows 10 from Window 7 because I previously kept OS on my old TB drive.
Is it possible not to reinstall the OS back onto the hard drive and then make a boot flash drive to reinstall the
OS onto the SSD?
