Need help migrating files from same OS

Need help migrating EVERYTHING from one copy of windows 10 to another on the same ssd

 

Ive been using an illegitimate copy of windows 10 now for quite some time and its showing that annoying activate your windows text on the bottom left. So i decided to buy finally a copy of windows 10 but i wanted all my installed programs, files, and if possible settings from the illegitimate copy to the legit one. 

 

Thanks for taking the time to read and helping

You could make a disc image or a backup with windows and then apply the backup to the other computer, it requires having a disc copy of windows (or maybe a USB copy would work too, idk)

if you have bought a windows 10 product key, you can activate it with your current system (no reinstall needed, assuming you have the same edition of Windows 10 as the key you have)

For some reason the illegitimate copy doesnt let me do that. I dont know why

Ok so weird thing happened. Once I installed legit copy of windows 10 on the SSD the illegitimate copy somehow got verified as well? 

 

I dont see the Activate Windows text anymore
