Hello! Yes, you can perform a fresh installation of Windows 10 on your new SSD while retaining your previous activation. Just ensure the old drive is properly formatted and the new SSD is recognized before starting the installation process.

Perfectly reinstall it—activation will start right away since the license ties to your motherboard, not the storage drive

You're right, I've tried it on an SSD that runs Windows 10 on a different baseboard.

Yes, I'll activate it manually again using the same keys. Note: You need to mention the person you're responding to so they see your message.
