Yes, you can get your Windows 10 back after changing an HDD with an SSD on your laptop. For this, you can clone your HDD to the SSD without reinstalling Windows and perform a clean installation of Windows 10 on the SSD without removing the HDD.

To get your preinstalled Windows 10 after replacing your hard disk with a solid-state drive, you will need to have a copy of Windows 10 and then do a clean install on the SSD. To this end, you will need to use Windows Media Creation Tool to help you install Windows 10 from scratch.

However, it is important to note that performing a clean installation of Windows 10 on a new SSD will have many procedures and is time-consuming. Under such circumstances, you'd better clone your HDD to SSD without reinstalling Windows.

Cloning can help move everything from one hard drive to another, including the operating system, preinstalled software, and data. But you have to use a third-party cloning program, like EaseUS Disk Copy, to do so. This is because Windows itself has no cloning utility.

EaseUS Disk Copy is a PC cloning tool for Windows. It can help you migrate your operating system from HDD to SSD, HDD to HDD, and SSD to SSD. Furthermore, it can help you transfer Windows 10 from an HDD to an SSD without reinstalling Windows easily and quickly.

You do not have to get your preinstalled Windows 10 after changing a hard drive on your computer because you can clone your HDD to an SSD without Windows reinstallation with the help of professional disk cloning software like EaseUS Disk Copy.
