Install Windows 10 on new SSD

[savlovessun]

Old hard drive was incredibly slow, so I had an SSD installed to replace it. (I still have the hard drive and have ordered a shell and USB cable combo for it if that helps.) I didn't want to pay for any other work, so I need to know what I do now to get Windows 10 back. I did write down my Windows 10 ID before the new install but I don't have any install disks.

On another PC, download the Windows 10 media creation tool and use it to make a win 10 installer on USB

make sure ssd is only drive in PC
change boot order in BIOS so USB is first, hdd second
boot from installer

when you reach the screen asking for licence, click "I don't have a key" and win 10 will continue to install and reactivate once finished. You don't need the product ID, its all stored on Microsoft servers now. PC will check them once win 10 is installed and confirm PC can be reactivated.
