So basically im looking forward to building a new pc. The problem i’m having is 1.can I use my HDD now to be used in my new one? (I will be going to have the same things in the new ones like windows 10, intel, etc)
2.Will I also be able to get the full version of windows 10 if it is already in my HDD and 3.what do i do to put my OS from my HDD to my future SSD?

1. Yes but do a clean install. If you dont you may or will have probs later

2. If you mean if WIndows 10 has already been installed, No.

You'll have to either get the ISO with the mediacreation tool use rufus or burn the ISO to DVD. But activating it maybe another matter. You may have to ring MS, if the computer that old hdd was in is no longer used.

3. If the SSD manufacturer has a cloning program use that. If it's a Samsung, you can use Data Migration from their site. Other manufacturer's may have a similar program
