How Do I Install Genuine Windows 10 on a New Hard Disk?

I have one Dell laptop with Windows 10 pre-installed on it. I'd like to upgrade my HDD to an SSD and do a clean installation of Windows 10. But the problem is, how can I get a genuine copy of Windows 10 on my new SSD?

To install your genuine copy of Windows 10 on a new hard drive, you can download the Windows 10 ISO file from Microsoft's official website and then use the Windows Media Creation tool to help install Windows 10 on a new SSD. And for this, you also need to create Windows 10 installation media.

It is worth noting that performing a clean installation of Windows 10 has many steps, which is laborious and time-consuming. So, is there any better way to install Windows when replacing an HDD with an SSD?

The answer is affirmative. You can try the cloning method, which can help you copy data from one hard drive to another without reinstalling Windows and losing data. To this end, you have to utilize a professional disk cloning tool because Windows does not offer a built-in cloning tool. Under such circumstances, EaseUS Disk Copy can suit you well.

It is a professional and easy-to-use cloning program designed for Windows 7/8/10/11. It can help you transfer your Windows from an HDD to an SSD without losing data. In addition, it can help you clone a drive with bad sectors due to its sector-by-sector cloning technology. You can also use it to resize your disk partition during cloning.

To install your genuine Windows 10 on a new hard drive, the best way is to clone your Windows from an HDD to an SSD instead of performing a clean installation.
