Restarting Windows
Hello, let me guide you through reinstalling Windows on an SSD. Make sure you're following these steps carefully. If you make any mistakes, feel free to ask. First, install the SSD. Then disconnect the SSHD. Connect a USB drive with Windows and boot from it. Proceed with the installation process. After that, reconnect the SSHD. You probably don't need to adjust anything in the BIOS unless your manufacturer specifies otherwise. Thank you for your question!
After installing Windows on your SSD, it’s common to format the SSHD since you won’t require a full Windows install. Make sure your data is safely backed up first. If you decide to retain Windows on the SSHD, consider setting the SSD as the main boot drive.
Sure, I can help with that. Just make sure the SSD is prioritized in the BIOS before transferring files.
Yes. Someone mentioned this when they replied. They noted that your UEFI/BIOS might start from the last working device, but it's not uncommon for it to boot from whatever is available. It's advisable to focus on the SSD to ensure you know exactly what will load.
In theory, yes. In practice, it's a free-for-all. I've had a reinstall transfer license just fine, and I've had a reinstall require 45 minutes on hold waiting for MS support to fix the issue. https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/s...fox-b-1-ab
It's a personalized computer built by someone. I still have the label with the license and the DVD. (They likely installed it via USB or another method. The DVD hasn't been opened yet.)
