Hi everyone! Hope you are all doing well, and are having a good holiday season so far. I just had a question concerning the installation of a SSD. As of now I have a single 1TB HDD in the PC. I am planning on installing a 240 GB SSD, and have read several articles stating that the OS should be installed on the SSD to improve performance. Anyhow, my question is: how would I be able to get the OS on the SSD when I don't have the windows install disk (windows 10 is currently installed)? Also what files/applications would benefit from being placed on the SSD? By the way, if the current HDD is wiped it would be beneficial, as I've been having a few quirks with it lately.

Thanks for taking time out of your holiday to help idiots like me.

Well you cant copy windows to it. And depending on how long it's been installed it may not activate with the key.

And if it's OEM then it's usually tied to the computer it was installed on
