I’m upgrading to an ssd need help

[Lowspecgamer]

I’m gonna buy an ssd and I want to delete everything on my pc, but be able to transfer my operating system to the ssd. Is there a way of doing this without paying for Windows again?

You should be able to make a windows install on a USB with the windows media creation tool . Then when you install it should activate through your Microsoft account/motherboard

Here is a good place to get the Windows Media Creation Tool.

Will it automatically activate or will I need a code?

Should be automatic, or sign into Microsoft account. Make sure your signed in on your current install and take a pic of activation ect just incase
