How do you transfer Windows 10 License from an already installed SSD to another Bigger SSD if you are using the same computer?

Anyone know the steps or links that I can look?

My current SSD that has a Windows 10 Pro license installed is only 120GB and currently have only 36Gb of free space left. I am getting a SSD that is 480Gb.

You don't do anything. The licence is connected to your motherboard.

 

Or rather, it could be registered to your microsoft account- so if that's the case you just sign back into your ms account when/if you reinstall

Just be sure you are signed into the same microsoft account.

Either way new keys are only $5 on ebay and you don't even need a key to use or install windows 10.

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...
 

Spoiler

 

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?
