Hey all!
I've been using a used hdd from a friend for the past year on my pc. In the last two weeks, I've been having serious problems that left me only able to access Bios and the automatic repair screen. After struggling with my pc for a few days I eventually was able to get to my desktop (by clearing the hard drive and reinstalling windows.) At this point I've had enough of this hard drive and am ready to upgrade to a new ssd! I would like to put my copy of Windows 10 on the ssd and get rid of the old hard drive once and for all. My question is, will windows allow me to install on a different hard drive? Do I simply uninstall the old hard drive and install the new ssd? My windows 10 came with a product key that has now been used, I just don't want to put myself in a position where I have to buy a new copy of Windows.
Thank you for any and all advice!
