    Windows transfer from HDD to SSD


    I was wondering if it was possible to switch Windows from one internal drive to another. I have an HDD from another, older computer with Windows 10 pro already installed and with a license. However, in the PC I currently plan on building, I would like to use an SSD as my boot drive. But I do not necessarily want Windows on the HDD. Is there a way to transfer Windows without making a second copy of it? Or can I change the boot drive in settings, and it will do it on its own?

    :)

  2. Upgraded Windows Transfer from HDD to SSD

    Hi

    My windows was upgraded from 8 to 10 on my laptop few years back. I was trying to get the HDD replaced with SSD. During the copy process, the technician said windows cannot be moved to SSD as it is an upgraded version from 8 to 10.

    Kindly guide if there is a possibility to copy the windows to SSD ? If so, please suggest the steps.
