Hey,
I currently have a pc with Windows 10 pro on my 1tb HDD ( on my hdd I have two partitions: C - OS and D - music/games/photos etc.).
I recently bought a new SSD (Adata SU 650 240gb) which I already installed.
I want to do a fresh install of Windows 10 on the new SSD (I've just bought a serial key for Windows 10 Pro) because the one I'm currently using was installed last year by someone and the licence expired few months ago.
I also have an external HDD on which I already copied all the important files from D partition.
As far as I know the next steps are:
Any help would be much appreciated!

As far as I know the next steps are:
- go to microsoft website and download windows 10.
- download Media Creation Tool.
- create bootable usb stick (mine is 8 gb).
- turn off pc.
- unplug HDD and connect SSD (SSD is blank) to the same sata port the HDD used to be connected.
- plug the USB stick.
- turn on pc and go to bios; change SATA mode to AHCI and also change boot order ( usb stick should be the first one).
- save BIOS changes and reboot pc.
- install windows.
Any help would be much appreciated!
