  1. 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! Moving SSD to new laptop without reinstalling? :D

    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?
