I am switching to an ssd soon but my W10 key is a digital entitlement. I was given an iso of W10 from windows tech support in case I ever needed to reinstall W10.

If I install W10 using the iso that is now on a flash drive (media creation tool) to a brand new ssd, will the digital entitlement key be transfered as well, or will i have to purchase a copy of W10?

Within the same system, and just a different drive, you just need to install on the new drive.
When it tries to activate, it will see that it is the same system, and activate.

You do not need to purchase a new OS.
