You just swapped your old Crucial SSD for a new Samsung 850 in your Alienware M14x. You're setting up Windows 10 from a flash drive made with the Windows 10 Media Creation tool, but you're concerned it might not activate because it was originally activated on the old SSD. You have the original Windows 7 disk from the computer, so perhaps you should install Windows 7 first and then move to Windows 10?
