![]() ![]() Can you suggest how I handle this situation? You did mention cloning., can you explain this to me as I have never done that before. This is the most clear response yet so thanks. In essence, you didn't get opposing or conflicting answers, all of the above are correct, from different perspectives. Just a simple move will not work very well, even if the hdd is still primary C drive, windows itself will have an issue with driver conflicts between the 2 different motherboards and it's related drivers. Windows will automatically activate once installed and connected to internet. You do not need a product key as it is in the firmware. Once it boots from pendrive follow the procedure to install Windows. Will it work? Absolutely, but only after other steps are taken first. Press power button and immediately keep pressing ESC until startup menu appears and then press F9 and choose the pendrive in boot menu. By moving the hdd to a new pc, as is, you'll have so many conflicts with dual registries software looking for addresses that don't exist, etc that it's basically going to create all kinds of headaches unless you first clone that hdd to the ssd, then wipe everything from the hdd. If I may, your hdd in the old pc is full of drivers for the old motherboard, software installed that recognises C as the primary drive with OS, a registry saved to that drive that is all about what goes where etc.
