I just reviewed your message and went through the discussion. I wanted to offer some support. My take is that after switching from Windows 7 to Windows 10 on a HDD, you aimed for better performance by moving to an SSD. However, the transition brought several challenges. The ideal outcome would have been to keep the SSD with a properly licensed Windows 10 but remove the older personal programs from the HDD—something even Microsoft support couldn’t resolve. I tried reverting the HDD back to Windows 7 within the first 30 days, but there were no effective solutions. Now that the SSD is smaller than the HDD, you could reformat it as NTFS and clone the entire Windows 7 data onto it. After cloning, wait for the Windows 7 update notifications; this should confirm the upgrade without needing a new license. If you’re not ready to wait, consider reaching out to Microsoft with your *.iso of Windows 10 for further help. Let me know if this clarifies things!
