Download the Windows 10 ISO from the provided link. Insert a USB drive and follow the setup steps. Restart in BIOS, set boot priority to USB, and try again. It should load the USB version. You can then configure Windows 10 to use the SSD, which won’t erase your existing HDD. This creates two installations but keeps the SSD active. Your old files remain safe.

Upgrade to Windows 10 on the HDD after completion. Perform a clean install on the SSD and bypass the two prompts asking for a key to activate automatically.
