What size/make/model is the new SSD?
How much total space is consumed on your current C drive?
What OS is this?

bro dont go through hell... Just buy a Windows key, remove your other storage devices from your laptop, and put in the new SSD. Then boot from a USB with Microsoft on it and install.

If he is just changing drives, there is no need for a new Windows license.

Well if you have the same issue I had, where the SSD would not want to become the boot drive, have fun with diskpart and bcdboot commands.
