    Replacing an HDD with an SSD from a different PC


    I have a laptop running Windows 10 and whose HDD needs to be replaced. I also have a desktop pc that is otherwise surplus to requirements but it has a fully operational SSD. I'm wondering if it's possible/feasible to install the desktop's SSD with its Windows 10 operating system, directly into the laptop instead of doing a clone?
