Walmart's Overpowered Laptop

[beztoken]

So I went and bought an 15.6 Overpowered laptop from Walmart only because I was able to grab it for $800.

 

One thing I wanted to do was replace the provided SSD with a bigger one, but I wasn't able to see a Windows 10 key anywhere on the packaging or on the laptop itself and was wondering if that would be a problem if I wanted to replace the SSD and reinstall Windows (assuming that it was installed on the SSD and not the HDD).

 

After viewing the video, I understand that Linus said you can't add another m.2, but you can add 2 PCIe 1x's. I assume this means I can't add another SSD?

Windows will ask you for a license key if you reinstall it.

That's what I was afraid of. Maybe someone else who bought the laptop can help me locate the key?

Do you have a desktop? you can just clone the current SSD to the newer one.

 

or you can just google the billion ways to find your Windows Key and re-use it after you install the new windows.

I haven't thought about cloning.

 

Thanks for the tips.

You can also go into regedit and find the windows key.

Sweet, thanks. I didn't know that was an option.

Many laptops have the Windows key inside the BIOS, it will activate automatically. However I'm not sure whether this is the case with TongFang barebones
