Hi there,
I am currently in the process of upgrading my Laptop by replacing the current HDD with a SSD and then using the HDD as an extra hard drive. I would however like to run my windows off the new SSD. When i purchased the laptop it came with windows 8, which i upgraded to windows 10 while it was still free.
Is there a way for me to get windows 10 onto the new SSD without having to purchase it? for example clone it or copy it across somehow?
Because the only other way I can think of to get windows running off the new SSD would be to reinstall windows 8, which i would then not be able to upgrade to 10 without purchasing it...
Please advise the best way to go about solving this issue, thank you!
