Right now I have a 1TB harddrive that has everything on it. I just got a m.2 SSD and want to wipe by harddrive to reinstall windows and games/etc. on the m.2.

Pretty much this is what I want to know.

1. How to wipe Harddrive clean

2. How to reinstall windows onto new m.2

3. Will I have to buy a new windows code or will my mobo still recognize it?
