It is so funny. 

 

1- The laptop came with 2 drives. 

    1. - SSD M2.

    2. - 1 TB of 5400 rpm drive.

 

( When , have some issues with laptop , or i just wanna clean it , this is what i do Reinstall Windows  ) .

I just , wanna copy all the needed files, to do same from new SSD . ( But you already understand that , just make it clear in case)

Should have its Windows key embedded within the motherboard. The only laptop maker I know that does not embed keys is Clevo lol.

Yeah he doesn't know nothin', so just go ahead and try it then get back to us. It should work, and you shouldn't see a product key sticker anywhere on your laptop.

Well, i will get back to you , not that soon , as i am not in material state , to get a new m.2 ssd that i want . 

I will do it in next month , I am just preparing my self for that , you know, asking questions and so . 

Even if i will make a mistake some where , or it will not work, i have a back up plan, that might be , not that good as i wanted , but will work 2. 

 

The back up plan, is just install a new SSD Samsung Evo 850  250 Gb.  and install a new copy of Windows 10 , from original USB , install drivers for the laptop , and activate with a new Key that i have from Kinguin . 

It is not that nice as i wanted , and not all application that were installed on  laptop will be availble , but at least , the laptop will be active .

 

(I am just harvesting information , before doing something  that i am not used to do, i do not wanna make mistakes, as i did once.   )
