First post, give me some slack.

 

So, just got my first SSD and I am wondering whether the process of transferring the OS (Windows 10) from HDD to SSD is the same as that with Windows 7 (Linus previously made a video of).

Also, my copy of Windows 10 is the free version, and therefore I don't have an activation code will this matter?

Could anyone point me in the right direction and give me pointers on how I am going to transfer my OS to the SSD

 

Cheers,

Will

One day I will have my GTX 970. One day. PC specs are at my profile.

Not sure how to check what part works with what? Check out my compatibility guide!

Isn't this to install a fresh OS? Can I not copy my whole system over, as I don't want to reinstall windows.

Isn't there any way of cloning using software?
