My hdd has been acting weird lately. I keep getting pop ups saying I have drive error and when I try opening programs I get error 0xc0000102. Now I'm thinking of replacing the hdd with a ssd. I'm trying to reinstall windows but I only have a digital license. Is there some way to overcome this? Thanks

If you tied your Microsoft account to your digital license, you can reinstall the same version of Windows on the same PC after changing your drive out.

Just install the same version is home,pro etc whatever version u had beforehand and it will activicate automatically just I don't have a product key in the installer for windows and it should activicate automatically. 

Please quote or tag  @Ben17 if you want to see a reply.

If I don't reply it's probly because I am in a different time zone or haven't seen your message yet but I will reply when I see it ?
