Apparantly i cant just put my m.2 ssd (contains the os and everything i need) from one pc to another brand new pc, what am i supposed to do? i heard im supposed to make a fresh windows install but i havent find any helpful things on how to do it yet

Swaping the OS from one PC to another isn't ideal, because they likely require different drivers. But in general it should work fine. Though you might run into issues later on.

 

To do a fresh install you can download the media creation tool from Microsoft and use it to create a bootable USB to install Windows.

If the old PC isn't used anymore and your license is linked to a Microsoft account, you can use Microsoft's website to transfer the license.

Can i do a Factory reset from the old pc, then put that ssd in the new pc then do another factory reset, or is it still ideal to just put a new one on the new pc
