Yes that should work. At least it worked for me.
To switch, you then click "create installation media for another PC" in the upgrade program and create a bootable usb stick or burn a DVD.
Than you boot from the usb/DVD and install to your SSD. Done.
Don't do that!
You first have to upgrade from windows 8.1, otherwise your Windows 10 won't be activated.
I did that error and had to reinstall my Win 8 and upgrade. Than you can do a fresh install of Win 10.
(Or do that after you upgraded first)
That's why you don't use one that saves your Passwords on the internet.
The ones that create a file that is on your computer and encrypted are better and safer.
When your CPU is maxed out it's no wonder your cards aren't maxed as well because your CPU can't keep up. Maybe close some background processes or programms?

I have some of those. They work quiet well but aren't as stealthy as the lutro0 ones.
I currently have 4 Monitors attached to my 970 and it still has 2 more outputs. So can I connect more than 4 Monitors to my 970 or would I need an extra Card?
I have 2 2TB Seagate Barracuda drives in Raid 1 using the controller on my Motherboard.
But after a reboot the array disappeared in Windows.
However when I boot it recognizes the drives correctly and says that the array is healthy.
I have the Os on a other drive.
