    Windows 10 Activation After Replacing HDD with SSD

    So my laptop's HDD failed, I bought a new SSD to replace it. I still have the USB with the Windows 10 Installer on it, but my laptop originally came with Windows 7, and I had upgraded to 10 for free. Is there any way for me to get Windows 10 onto the new
    SSD without having to buy a new copy or am I stuck buying a new copy now since the free upgrade period is over?
