Windows 10 Clean install on SSD

[russrn16]

Hi, i'm upgrading my Laptop and put in a New SSD in it but I have a question when doing this.

If I used the Windows 10 media creation tool to clean install Windows to the new SSD, will my Windows reactivate for free because my laptop was already activated when I first got it and I have no Windows OEM stickers because "its embedded into my BIOS"

Yes Windows 10 should re-activate automatically. Don't enter a key when prompted.

If it was running 10 when you first got the laptop , it should reactivate with just the SSD chenge . Microsoft now gives you the option to link your setup to a Microsoft account. Then in the future you just sign in to your account to reactivate.​
