Do you need a hard drive or a USB stick?

Maybe you're wondering about the meaning behind the question? Let me clarify if that helps.

You can install files from the Windows Media Creation Tool onto your SSD and boot from it. The boot files don’t need to come from a USB or disk.

You'll need to set up Windows by installing the files provided by Microsoft. These aren't boot files but installation packages. You should save them to a USB drive or another storage device for the installation process. While it's possible to use other drives like an HDD or SSD, this isn't typical. You can't install Windows directly onto the SSD itself.

You can switch to another HDD by connecting it directly to your computer via a USB port, ensuring the drive is properly seated and recognized. If you need further help, let me know!

Is there any reason you're not simply copying your hard drive to an SSD?

I'm working with a simulated version of Windows 7 and transitioning to Windows 10 via booting without a license key.

Avoid needing a product key. It’s recommended to upgrade From 7 to 10 via Microsoft’s site for free, and once done, replicate everything onto the SSD.

It isn't something I've handled personally, but I think you can leverage UUI—it's designed for Linux, though you can adapt it for Windows too. You should be able to pick a SATA drive. Just let me know in a few minutes so I can check it out.
