    Moving SSD with windows 10


    I currently have a PC with an SSD with windows 10 installed on it. I want to move that SSD to new PC that has Windows 10 key already tied to it and use it as a boot drive. Will the Windows activation automatically switch over? Or would I need to wipe that SSD and reinstall Windows on it after I move it to the new PC?

    :)

  2. Move Windows 10 from installed hdd to installed ssd

    If you want to move it from hard disk, system image or cloning would be your options:

    Choose system image if the SSD is equal in size or larger than hard disk:


    Choose cloning if its not:

    You can remove the hard disk, reinstall Windows 10 directly to SSD, reattach the hard drive and format it.

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
