You’re planning to switch from a 1TB HDD to a 500GB SSD while keeping your Windows 10 license active. You’ll need to follow specific steps to reinstall Windows on the new drive. Make sure you have the license key handy and consider backing up important data before proceeding.

Load the 500gb onto your system (you can do this while it's running if you wish). Install macrum reflect. Clone the hdd to the ssd. Configure the ssd and the boot device. Start in the ssd and then remove the Windows folder or eliminate the boot flag from the old hdd.
