You have Windows 10 installed on both HDD and SSD. You want to transfer the OS from the HDD to the SSD. There are tools available to help with this process, such as disk partitioning utilities or cloning software. Let me know if you need guidance on the steps!

First, sign up for a Microsoft account to register your Windows 10, which simplifies obtaining the activation key. Next, install Clonezilla on a USB flash drive. Power on the drive via the laptop’s BIOS and verify that both the SSD and HDD are connected. Follow the on-screen instructions to perform the cloning process. Afterward, adjust the BIOS settings to boot from the SSD. In Windows, confirm you’re using the SSD and proceed with formatting the HDD.

It's odd... whoever adjusted the laptop that way must have been very careful.

Friends don't allow Microsoft to handle their accounts. Using a traditional Windows login appears to reduce security and let Microsoft track your activity. Stick to the old methods instead.

Restart the installation of Windows onto the SSD. You'll avoid unnecessary software.

Consider reinstalling if possible. Use a memory stick for Windows 10 and wipe the installer completely before starting fresh. If reinstall isn’t an option, clonezilla can help, but it’s likely your HDD is larger than your SSD. You may need to reduce the OS partition size so it fits on the SSD. Open Disk Management to adjust partitions. Ensure the SSD doesn’t contain EFI System Partitions or Boot entries. I’ve seen instances where Windows mistakenly set boot options on one drive and installed Windows on another. It’s still wise to create a bootable Windows 10 copy on a DVD or stick. Boot problems often require automatic repair, usually fixing a boot configuration issue.

Consider a complete reset of the SSD, reinstalling software and transferring files afterward. It may seem more effort, but it simplifies the process and reduces issues. For activation concerns, Jelly Bean Key Finder can retrieve your Windows key beforehand.

It's added directly to the BIOS. No need to fret about a key, Microsoft account, or any of those hassles. Just perform a clean install of the OS onto the SSD and rearrange the files you require for quick loading. You'll finish the SSD setup fast if you transfer everything there.
