Reinstalling windows, new SSD

[Denysdun]

I recently got a new SSD (Samsung SSD 840 Evo)

And i want to reinstall windows on it and just delete everything off my harddrive because i backed up the stuff already.

 

Can someone give me steps-to step help?

1. Put in your installation media with windows on it into your computer

2. Boot off of the installation media usually by spamming F8 or DEL on your keyboard while your computer is turning on

3. Click next a few times then partition and format your SSD

4. Install windows

Do you have a Windows license?

Oh, and before installing Windows, DISCONNECT the HDD!

I retrieved my key from a program i used (forgot what it was)

 

I got my computer prebuilt and it didnt come with cd's for some reason.

When you are installing Windows and the HDD is still connected, it install files on the HDD so you can't boot the PC if the HDD is not there.

32 or 64 bit? And I think that key isn't valid because it's from a pre-built.
