Hi!
I've seen many threads discussing this topic, however, none of these gave me the answer I wanted. Today, I received a Samsung 850 EVO 250 GB SSD, to use in the computer I'm going to build soon.
Currently, I have a 500 GB HDD which I filled up with about 200 GB of OS files, program files and media. I'd like to have only the necessary files on the SSD: Windows 10 Pro, Adobe Photoshop CC 2015, Sony Vegas Pro 13.0 and a few games (I expect to fill up max. 50 GB on the SSD).
My question is: Should I clone my current HDD to my SSD (only the necessary files), or is it best to buy a new Windows 10 Pro product key and do a clean install, as I will be using this SSD in my next PC also?
Is it possible to use this SSD on my current computer as the boot drive and later use the same SSD on my future computer (that I'm going to build soon)?
Also, is it possible to clone my current HDD to my SSD and later clean all the files from the SSD and start clean on my next PC?
And finally, where can I get a legal version of Windows 10 Pro, Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1 (a product key) cheaply?
Thanks in advance.
