    Migrating Win10 OEM Upgrade from HDD to SSD

    I recently helped a friend with OEM Windows 7 Home Premium on his laptop upgrade to Windows 10. All went well with no probs - so laptop is currently running Windows 10 OEM.

    He now wants to swap out the single HDD for a Samsung 850 Evo SSD. Can I simply migrate the HDD to the SSD, and then swap the SSD for the HDD - and Windows 10 OEM will still be activated?

    I did something similar with my laptop (running Win10 Retail, upgraded from Win8.1 retail), using the Samsung migration software.

    Will a similar job work with Win10 OEM?

    Thanks for any help/advice.

    Windows 10 download/installation onto a Samsung SSD problem.

    Thank you Vanessa for your reply.

    The SSD was loaded with an image cloned from the original HDD using the supplied Samsung software, and then replaced the HDD in SATA slot 0. The HDD was then placed in SATA slot 1 and reformatted for use as a back-up drive. However the Samsung software although
    claiming to clone the first two volumes only cloned the Windows 8.1 C: volume from the original HDD. It did not clone the System Reserved volume D: which remains on the HDD which is now in SATA slot 1. So presumably this is why the precursor operations to
    the Windows 10 download cannot find it.

    I therefore wish to upgrade the Windows 8.1 which is on the Samsung SSD to Window 10.

    Incidentally I have a Lenovo laptop which was using Windows 7, and which upgraded to Windows 10 with no problem.
