    Reinstalling Windows 10 to new SSD, Previously on HDD

    it should work. and i recommend you install Belarc Advisor(it is free) and let it find your Windows 7.0 key. Write it down and keep it in a safe place. does your pc have a label on its back that shows the Windows OS with the key on the back?
