Identical settings across two machines?
Identical settings across two machines?
You can use the same Windows 10 OS on your new 850EVO without needing to clone or delete your 750EVO. Just transfer the files and set it up as needed.
Yes, it's possible to transfer a Windows copy between computers, but it's not advised, particularly when the hardware specifications differ significantly (such as switching from AMD to Intel or vice versa). A fresh installation is usually the best approach.
You can clean your SSD by using a soft, dry cloth to remove dust from the surface. Avoid using water or harsh chemicals. If you're unsure, consider professional cleaning services. Using it for a week is generally safe, but ensure it's in a stable environment and avoid extreme temperatures.
Only one PC can run a single Windows key at a time. Activating another will trigger a message that the key is already in use. The system may also shut down the first PC automatically.
Running sysprep at C:\Windows\System32\Sysprep\Sysprep.exe readies your system for relocation. When it starts again, Windows will execute setup steps similar to turning on a new machine, creating unique identifiers to distinguish different versions. Your files and software remain intact. I believe Windows will detect the hardware change and adjust its IDs accordingly, ensuring both systems function the same once activated with the same volume license from the manufacturer.
