Hey guys so I got a new SSD and I want to transfer my OS to the new SSD from the HDD. Now i know I can clone all the memory from the HDD to the SSD but the HDD at this point has too much of malware and I just want a clean OS on the SSD, but there are also other drivers on my PC which I don't know how to identify and thus I am not installing just an OS into  the SSD. Anyone have any solutions to this problem.

What I basically want is a fresh new PC with the OS and all the drivers of the old PC without any of the malware.

 

 

Thank you for taking your time to help out.

1. Get Windows edition ISO file (so if you have Windows 7 Home Premium, get Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OEM), and burn it to disk or extract it to a USB flash drive. Use this tool for Windows Vista, 7, and 8: https://rufus.akeo.ie/ (Microsoft had an easier tool that you can use, but it doesn't exits anymore due to its age, and Windows 10). If you don't have the ISO file, then ask a friend for his/her disk of the right edition and use that instead.
2. Remove your HDD
3. Plug-in your SSD to your system.
4. Tell your system to boot from disk or USB flash drive that contains Windows
5. Install Windows
6. Enter the product key that is under your system
7. Activation may fail, if so, do a phone activation.
8. Install all missing drivers
9. Do Windows Update, once done, do it again, and again and again until no more updates shows.
10. Plug your HDD to the system in addition to the SSD if you can, and copy your files from the HDD to the SSD.  OR plug it to another system, network share the drive and copy your files over, OR get a USB adapter (powered is needed for desktop HDDs), and plug the HDD to it, and plug it to your system, and transfer your files. If you have none of that. Plug back your HDD in your system, don't connect on the web, get blank DVD's and backup your data to it / them. Once done, remove the HDD, plug back the SSD, and copy the data from the DVDs back to your SSD

no problem. Glad I can help!

 

For the Phone activation:

When and if the activation fails, you'll have a message box appear. You'll have the option to do a Phone activation (your other options is to enter a new key or buy Windows). Click on Phone Activation. Clicking on that option will ask your country/region, enter it, and you'll see something like this:

 

You'll see the phone number the dial for your region (the picture above is a random one from the web). Pick up the phone, and call the number. A machine will pick up, ask you what product you want to activate (going by memory, for my region, may be different for you), so it will say something like: Office, Windows, etc.. and you say Windows, and then it tell you to say the numbers that you see on the screen on the above picture. So it will tell you to say the number in Group 1. And if we use the picture above as an example, you'll say or dial in: 013272, and it will tell you to say or dial group 2, and you say or dial: 525215, and so on. Then it will activate, and give you a set of numbers that you enter in group A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H. If activation fails, it will transfer you to someone, who will ask you questions like, how many Windows you are using with the same product, which you say 1, as that is your case, and then might ask you what you are trying to do, and you say, you changed your HDD to a SSD on my system, and re-installing Windows, and then he or she will give you the numbers to enter in group A, B, C,... and so on. Once done click on Next, fi no error was typed i, it will activate.

- That is because you entered the key under your system.

- Windows 9 doesn't exists

- You have spaced after punctuation signs. Please put them.

- Architecture doesn't matter

- Call to activate

-What do you mean? He will put that key on a different motherboard? 

-I know that but it is some guy on the internet who took Windows 7 and made it look different and called it 'Windows 9 Edition',not my fault

-My English is shit,and what did I type wrong? and is it really NECESSARY for me correcting that?!?!

-I know,but with some OEM keys,it does
