Hi everybody, i have windows 10 installed on a mvme m.2 ssd, i'd like to reinstall wendows completely on the same ssd but on another pc configuration, how can i do it?
See my link above about "reactivating after a hardware change".Wait, now i have a microsoft account logged on my OS where i activated windos with a product key, so when i reinstall windows again and it ask to my to put the key, can i use the key that i alredy used on the actual account?
download installation media from microsoft website to a usb. and install from that
Moving between systems will incur a license issue.Hi everybody, i have windows 10 installed on a mvme m.2 ssd, i'd like to reinstall wendows completely on the same ssd but on another pc configuration, how can i do it?

You'll want to install the "Windows Media Installation tool" from here https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 on the USB or External device ( as rgd1101 suggested above)
When you boot off of this tool on the other machine, during the setup process it will ask to select a drive to install Windows on. During this time you can reformat the drive.
Curiously though, are you using your login on this other machine? Or do you have the Windows Key?

5 different systems from the same license key?By default, Windows links the Activation key with the Motherboard of the system in use.
If you sign into or create a Microsoft account on that machine. It will link that License to the Microsoft account. So with that same Microsoft account you can log into up to 5 different machines and have a valid Copy of Windows.

I've heard some absolutely contrafactual info from the Level 1 Microsoft minions.Yeah it's definitely a magic number that only Microsoft Employees are privy to. And even then, I highly doubt the accuracy of the person your speaking to when you call Microsoft
