Doesn't it become activated when you sign into the new laptop for the first time? I haven't even actually received the laptop yet. I get it tomorrow. So would I need to sign in first and then replace the parts so that it is activated, or should I install my drives before I boot it up for the first time?

I was signed in with my Hotmail account (so yes).

How do I do that?

Will it operate exactly as I left it? For example, will any files or program icons I had on my desktop still be there just as I left it?

I recently spilled water all over my laptop (AORUS 15-X9) and made an insurance claim because I had accident protection. They sent me a reimbursement check and I decided to purchase the same laptop with it. Today I got a package from the insurance company which contained the original SSD and HDD from my old laptop. Given that my old and new computers are the same model, would I be able to replace the SSD and HDD from my new laptop with the ones from my old laptop? If so: 1.) What are the steps? 2.) Will I run into any performance or instability issues?

The first thing I did was remove the battery

The laptop shut off pretty soon after I pulled it off the charger. I'm gonna assume the water caused it to shut off, but I honestly can't be sure because sometimes my laptop will go into sleep mode after disconnecting. As for the rice, I assume I should screw the back cover onto the laptop again before I put it in the rice right lol?

Allow me to be more specific. The warranty is an accidental drop and spill protection plan. I used the wrong wording to describe it.

Like an idiot, I spilled a pretty impressive amount of water on my laptop (AORUS 15-X9). I have since disassembled it and removed the battery. I've had a giant fan blowing on it for about 8 hours now and am going to leave it alone over night. I'm gonna try to turn it back on when I wake up and attempt to create a system image. The laptop is still under warranty, so I can get a replacement because I'm pretty sure I'm gonna have issues with the keyboard and mousepad after this. Assuming it has the same hardware, will I be able to load the system image onto the replacement laptop and have everything working smoothly again?
