hey
I have a hdd of 1tb which has partitions - C for windows and E for gaming etc.
How can I format my computer and transfer the windows to new SSD?
Don't know if when I format the computer I can choose where to install windows again. don't have the pro. number so I'm afraid that I won't be able to install windows.

Hey,
Once you have your Windows product key and product ID, you can easily re-activate Windows in new SSD.
Before formatting your HDD, note down the product ID which will be displayed in the given path "Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\System".
Once done, mail Microsoft support team from your registered/purchased email id with the Product Id. They will help you with new product key and further activation.

I got this Windows 10 when they gave it for free. I understood that I can use the Product ID again or something like that (from Microsoft site).
