  1. Moving Windows 10 Home version from Hard Disk Drive to SSD


    Hi,

    I have genuine Windows 10 Home version which is currently installed on my Hard Disk Drive. Now I want to upgrade my Hard Disk Drive with SSD.

    I heard that if I set up my SSD and remove the HDD then I will lost my windows 10 version.

    Is that right? if yes, is there any way I can reactivate my windows 10?


    Thanks in advance.

    :)

  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:

    OR

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

    Hard Rectangular Drive Could be the Hard Disk Answer to SSDs

    You're probably right but until SSD's come down to a more reasonable price-level, I'm all for this kind of stuff. Can probably be a perfect stepping-stone from HDD to SSD.

    If it ever gets to stores that is *Smile Moving Windows 10 Home version from Hard Disk Drive to SSD :)

    Moving Windows 10 Home version from Hard Disk Drive to SSD

    hard disk drive problem

    i have a western digital 120 gb ide hard drive ( there was still 25 gb free space ) and everything was running fine until i decided to update windows xp home edition service pack 1 to service pack 2. I updated the windows and after the updating was done it asked me to restart the computer so i restarted the computer and it was normal then the windows would not start up. i turned off the computer and then turned it back on, everything gets on normally but it gets stock at where it says windows xp, it just stays there forever therefore i dont get to my desktop. Any idea what might be causing the problem?

    I have an old hard disk drive which im not using and it has 10 gb space. Can i plug it to my system and run the windows from that and still be able use my other hard disk too so i can uninstall the service pack 2 from my hard disk.

    Waiting for your suggestions!

    Thank you for your time !
