Windows 10: Switching Win10 OS from HDD to SSD.

Hello everyone, I'm super confused as to how I can switch the OS from HDD to SSD.

I have a 2 TB HDD that contains my OS and I'm looking to add a 240 GB SSD to my rig and would like to have the OS on my SSD. I'm okay with a complete reinstallion of Win10 onto my SSD meaning I'm okay with losing whatever I have on my desktop. I will transfer everything I want to save onto a USB drive.

If I could get some instructions as to how I can make this happen, I will be very grateful!

Thank you very much!

OS on new SSD, keep existing data on HDD and use as external drive

Hi,

use steps you suggested, there should be no problem.

Just replace HDD with SSD first then run installation. Do not forget to remove Windows files from HDD after the end of a process.

 

HDD to SSD Swap with Win10

Hello Community,

I have Win10 on my current PC with a HDD. I bough the laptop when Win 8 was the latest and not so greatest. I've upgraded to 8.1 and recently Win10. I would eventually like to speed things up by installing a SSD and taking out the old HDD. Then do a fresh
install of Win 10 with an installation CD created by the getwin10 app. I have everything backed up and prepared for the switch but, I do not want to install 8 then 8.1 then 10. My question is: Can I use my Win 8 product key to activate a Win 10 OS? I've talked
to several IT people and they are unsure of the outcome. This is my only working PC as of now and I'm a bit nervous of losing it. Is there anything else that should be brought to my attention as well?

Thank you,

Beef

 

Win10: windows update stuck at never ending loop ?

When in win10:

• Update&security -> Windows update -> Finding update... .... .... ....

Planning to download the latest Win10.ISO (vers.1803) and manually update:
- Then wait that my ordered new SSD arrives and clone the old HDD to it.
