because of my broken ssd i forced to install my windows 10 to my hdd(1TB split it to 385gb for windows and 515 for my files) now that i got my ssd back repaired i wanted to move the windows 10 to my ssd back again,so i spoke with someone that knows a lot in pc generally and said that i would need to buy a new licence key to make a new clear installation.So before i did that i searched the internet about transfer my windows 10 from hdd to ssd and came up with some results so my questions is if i can transfer/move my operating system from hdd to ssd without the need of a new licence key

You can migrate OS from HDD to SSD.

There are some programs like Acronis True Image or Samsung's migration tool

Yes you can. Clone your HDD to SSD and no need to get a new license. All you need is a SATA to USB cable and a cloning software either EaseUS or Macrium Reflect for free. Download either of those, connect your new SSD to the SATA port and connect the cable to the PC's USB cable and start cloning.

There is more that meets the eye
I see the soul that is inside
