My new SSD just shipped in today to replace an HDD that crashed, but I have no idea how to go about re-installing Windows. My case has a "Windows 7 Pro for Refurbished PCs" stickers with the product code, which I'm assuming is what I use to get Windows back. But do I have to put that copy of Windows on a flash drive first? A step by step walk-through would be much appreciated, and I'd just look it up, but if I have any questions I'd like to be able to ask them. Thanks!\

After-note: Is it possible to upgrade Windows 7 Pro to Windows 10, or do I have to re-buy?

If the key is still valid, yes
