Hello, I have a ssd to which I downloaded windows 10 too. However I keep receiving the windows automatic repair loop. I’d like to just get a new ssd, am I able to reuse my windows key and download windows onto this new clean drive. Just in case, I’m not ha going anything else about the computer I’m just putting in a new drive. I’m also unable to enter windows 10 itself.

Setup a Microsoft Account and link your current PC to it , then backup whatever you want to save and perform a clean install on your new SSD and activate it with your Microsoft account from within windows. Skip the key entry during setup and activate it from within windows with the registered Microsoft Account.
