Removing windows 10

[coker.ethan]

I have a laptop with windows 10 installed on it. I want to remove the SSD and put in desktop. I want to completely wipe the SSD and install Windows 10 on my desktop with the ssd. How do I do this?

simply unplug it
plug into new pc
boot into bios and change booting order to make your install media the first priority, like usb or cd.
Then save and reboot, goes into installing win 10
you will have a choice to format your ssd during the process when selecting a drive to install, see below figure has a format button.
I will suggest you link your win10 to a MS account before doing so, and activate later on.

This step depends on Windows 10 being Retail License. Probably his laptop came with OEM License, and in that case this step won't work.

Nope, for win10, it doesn't matter anymore.

Nope, for win10, it doesn't matter anymore.

Actually, for a laptop, it might.
That is one of the very cases where it might.

For a WIn 10 that was upgraded from something else, no problem.
For a Win 10 license you purchased, no problem.
For a preinstalled Win 10...maybe a problem.

OP....if you can link your laptop Win 10 license to your MS account, you might be able to do this.

Read and do this before you change any parts:

simply unplug it

The license linkage should have been the first line in your procedure.

I can get the Windows Media to begin installing but after I accept terms it says that I already have windows and I need to start windows and then use the media to install. When I remove the Windows Media and restart it takes me straight to the bios. I'm not sure how to get it to boot using SSD when that's all that I have plugged in.

You're doing it wrong.

1. Have you in fact linked your current laptop license to a MS account?
What does it say, exactly? Screencap preferred.

2. You're doing the MediaCreation wrong.
You download the MediaCreation tool exe.
Then you run that, and it will give you the option to create media for another device. This is how you make a bootable USB or DVD.

I bought windows 10 from the store a couple months ago. I also bought a new SSD for my laptop and installed Windows onto the SSD in my laptop. Instead of buying a new SSD from my new build I just pulled the SSD out of my laptop and installed in desktop. Should it boot with the SSD? I did not create the media.

Oh.
That's a WHOLE different story. Completely.

You need to cause the new desktop to boot from the USB (or DVD).
It may try to boot up from the SSD...it may even complete booting up. But it will not be right.

You need to do a clean install with the Windows 10 you bought from the store.
Make the system boot up from that, and proceed on.
