Hard drive format

[Doris]

Hello there, I am soon going to build a new pc and I will be using my current hdd on the new pc + a ssd. I was wondering if upgrading to windows 10 on my current computer for free and then transfering the hdd will work as a way to save money on the OS.

Unless you already upgraded to Win10 you will have to buy another key.

How are you planning to get the free upgrade still?

Actually it might work, 

I recently was moving some drives around and i plugged in my Laptops HDD into my PC
And when i booted my PC it changed the boot order to prioritize the Laptop HDD i just put in

 

So i saw that it took a really long time to get into windows, because it was reinstalling my Desktops's drivers on the laptop hdd's Bootdrive

and when it finally booted it looked I was running my laptop on my big desktop

 

kinda cool - dont know if i got lucky

You can AHEM just turn on some accessibility settings before running the update, then disable it after its finish.
