  1. Trying to move my OS onto a SSD - Help please!


    Hey all

    I have a version of Windows 10 Education that I got from my University's onthehub a while ago. I recently got an SSD and I want to move that Windows 10 onto there.

    I have a 2tb Hard Drive, and only a 128gb SSD so I won't be able to transfer all of the info to the ssd. I don't mind re-downloading everything and re-installing it so I used the Windows 10 Setup and created a bootable Windows 10 os from a flash drive that I intend to install onto my ssd. However, I want to make sure that I keep my Windows 10 Education edition, and it looks like to do that I need to have the activation key from onthehub, which expired a long time ago.



    Is that the case? Do I need to get the activation key to keep my version of windows 10? Is there a way to download the Education version of windows 10?

    And if I decide to just copy my whole hard drive onto my ssd, what good sftware can I use to do that?



    Thanks!

    SSD Crucial Bx 100 - rattling/vibrating. Possible?

    This has been suggested several times already, and it has been suggested you try to move the SSD, remove it, or even suspend it in your case. Will you please try one of these?

    If you don't understand vibration and resonance, please refer to @dorsetknob 's post above. *Smile Trying to move my OS onto a SSD - Help please! :) It has been explained that something else moving/vibrating (even if you don't think they're vibrating they are...), fans, hard disk drives, and anything with a motor will cause some form of vibration at certain frequencies. This can be transfered through your case's chassis and where you mounted your SSD could be reaching a certain frequency that causes it to slightly move and rattle against the case.

    We are suggesting you take action and report back..you keep asking questions from step 1...we should be on step 4 by now...that is solution.

    Try what has been suggested and report back please. Otherwise all you're doing is leading this thread in an endless circle and the help will stop shortly thereafter.

    64Gb SSD for OS or 2Tb HDD for storage ?!

    I suggest that you get the 2tb for storage. SSDs are only useful if you want to boot things fast like OS and programs. I actually suggest you get both if you have that many movies.
